St. Joseph
St. Joseph, Pray for Us!
For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
Matthew 1:20

Imagine intimately witnessing the miracle of the Incarnation. We cannot fathom the power of the Holy Spirit except as a matter of faith. St. Joseph demonstrates such faith in willingly accepting his role in the Holy Family, as this miracle that is beyond human understanding unfolds.

All the miracles of the Old Testament anticipate this miracle, and all miracles after the Incarnation result from it. The power of the Holy Spirit is this powerful throughout time and continues today. Every day of our lives, the Holy Spirit asks us to accept our part in the ongoing miracle of the Incarnation. On this feast of St. Joseph, we ask for his intercession in helping us prepare for whatever may be asked of us, that in faith we act in accordance with God’s will.
