March 19, 2021: Solemnity of St. Joseph

God unfolded a marvelous plan to save us from sin, and restore us to Himself and His glorious purpose for us. He promised King David His line and house would endure forever, and chose one of David's descendants to raise up the Son Who would establish the House of David forever and bring salvation to the world.

St. Joseph humbly obeyed when he heard the word of God in his dreams, and so took his part in God's great plan of salvation. His life is a great example of faith in action through virtuous living, as he gave of himself to provide for his family, he worked with purpose, and he listened attentively to God so that his path in life would follow His plans.
