Fifth Sunday of St Joseph

 Fifth Sunday of St Joseph

Fifth reflection for the seven Sundays of Saint Joseph. The topics are: Joseph welcomes God's plans; discovering God in daily events; and the divine logic of God's plans.

ORDINARY LIFE is full of events and decisions that determine the paths we take, some of them of great importance for our future. If we normally need to ponder our choices in God’s presence, it is all the more necessary when faced with especially weighty decisions and events. “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife” (Mt 1:20), the angel told the patriarch. The Gospel of Saint Matthew tells us that Joseph pondered what was happening in his prayer in order to decide how to act. Hence we see him as “a respectful and sensitive man. Even though he does not understand the bigger picture, he makes a decision to protect Mary’s good name, her dignity and her life. In his hesitation about how best to act, God helped him by enlightening his judgment.”[1]
