Solemnity of St. Joseph

Today March 19 the Universal Christian Church was celebrating the Solemnity of St. Joseph. We honors the man who become the  foster-father of Jesus, St. Joseph. He know to be patron saint of all fathers, families, workers, and the Church. St. Joseph is a complete a model of humility, holiness, and obedient without delay, A model for fathers everywhere that is needless to say a good provider and teacher to his children. He cared for the Son of God, despite Jesus not being his own biological Son. His devotion to Mary, despite his suspicions of her infidelity, and his willingness to listen to the angel of God. St. Joseph demonstrate his humility and his extreme discretion with which he carried out the role entrusted to him by God that highlights his faith even more, which consisted in always listening to the Lord, seeking to understand his will and to obey it with his whole heart and strength. This is why the Gospel describes him as a "just" man (Mt 1,19). In fact, the just man is the person who prays, lives by faith, and seeks to do good in every concrete circumstance of life.
Today's Liturgy as well making us remember a great man, Saint Joseph. and his his exemplary life that shows us how we can be faithful and righteous to our faith and to GOD. Today we see how a great man teaches us on how we can be open to listening to God's word and to follow the special mission that God gives to us just like St. Joseph that in spite of his not understanding completely all the circumstances that surrounds him he still choose to follow God in most simplest and humble ways. He was a man with a great  faith in trusting God and in following God without any delay, without any questions, without any hesitation, He just follow, listen and trust.
