ST JOSEPH, MAN OF HONOUR, PRAY FOR US: 4th Sunday Advent A

Send us Fan MailWhat would your response be if God was to reveal Himself to you today? Like King Ahaz, in the first reading will your response be "I don't need you. I got everything covered?" Or will you like Zechariah this week say to Him "I don't trust you?". Or will you like Joseph in the gospel today out of humility say to God "I don't deserve you?" Or can you be honest like Our lady, if you're confused and ask for clarity and say "I don't understand?" Friends, as we prepare for the birth of our Blessed Lord at Christmas, let's be patient with ourselves and be ready with a response in whatever way He chooses to reveal Himself to us. Let's not be tempted to say to Him "I don't need you" because we can't do it all on our own. Let's not be tempted to say to Him "I don't trust you" because He has done enough in our lives to be trusted. Or out of humility say "I don't deserve you" because He values us that much to come down to save us. We are worth His life and death. The truth is He is closer than we think. Instead Lets lean into the truth that He is here. Support the show
