Advent 4 2022 (Dec 18)
Joseph
is asked to become a step-father. This is an overwhelming task! Many in
our congregation (and in my family) have been asked to assume
responsibility for a child that is not their own. And like Joseph, they
faithfully do this.
God
equips Joseph for this task; God does not leave Joseph alone — for God
in Jesus Christ is “God with us” – “Immanuel”. He sends Joseph a person
with a very different set of gifts and personality — Mary. Mary
proclaims God with creative prose; Joseph sings to God through his quiet
obedience.
A reflection on how God works through our differences and ultimately even sin to draw us together in Christ.
The Art Work is from a Caritas website on foster parenting.
