Throughout the centuries, God was unfolding a great plan of salvation. He revealed to David that his house would endure forever through one of his descendants.
God then called St. Joseph to take his part in this plan. While St. Joseph uneasily considered his response to Mary's premarital pregnancy, God revealed the way to him, and made it clear that the Child was conceived by the Holy Spirit and would be Savior of the World. Without any words of his recorded, St. Joseph responded and took Mary to be his wife, and helped usher in the world's salvation.
St. Joseph offers us a great model of trusting in God, aware that He is unfolding a great plan in our world, and graces us by choosing us to be part of it.
