USCSI REFLECTIONS

St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary – 

St. Joseph never once asked, “What’s in this for me?” Joseph is noted for his immediate “yes-response” to the task at hand. He lov­ingly takes Mary into his home at the call of the angel and he provides a loving home no matter what the consequences are for him. Instead of being manipulative he complies with and accepts the Lord’s challenge in his life.
