Supporting Cast

Most of us at some time wish we got more credit for what we do. We see others getting praised, when we know we work just as hard as them. Sometimes, others get to shine as stars when we are left in supporting roles. Yet, the Bible often shows us that supporting characters are deeply important to the story of salvation. In this sermon, Fr. Stephen holds up St. Joseph as an example of the importance supporting characters play. His supportive role, behind the scenes, is what allows the main characters to shine and what allows the drama of salvation to play out as God intended.
