Today’s Gospel focuses on Joseph, the foster father of Jesus. We don’t hear much about Joseph. The Gospel of Matthew 1:18-25 gives us insight to what kind of man Joseph was. In this Gospel, Joseph learns that Mary, the woman he is betrothed to is pregnant by someone else.
Joseph’s response is powerful and based on his values and beliefs not on his emotions. He does the right thing. Joseph responds to the situation he doesn’t react solely to his feelings. This is an important lesson on what it means to follow Christ. There will be times when we will be hurt and be tempted to lash out but this Gospel challenges us to remain faithful to our values and principles. If we are to be a people of peace we must behave in a way and make decisions that bring about peace in our lives and the lives of others.
