"Trusting as Joseph Did...Jer 23:5-8/Mt 1:18-25
St. Joseph, a quiet and unassuming man, experienced God as an earthquake. Mary's pregnancy shocked and devastated him. As he tossed and turned at night, God asked him to embrace Mary's child as his own. He did. Later he was told to flee with his family into a foreign land. He did. We know little else about this man except that, amid the whirlwinds of his life, he trusted and obeyed God. Maybe that's all we need to know.
Action: Reflect on a time God came as an earthquake.
Prayer: St. Joseph, help me to trust God amid the whirlwinds of life."
