Did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him

„When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.” (MT 1: 24) 

Saint Joseph was one of the first disciples of Our Lord (just behind Our Lady), who had a very special relationship with God’s word. He always listened to the word, was always obedient, and was always a man of silent action—„he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him.” For thirty years his home was the most amazing place in the world—the first dwelling of Our Lord—„blessed are those who dwell in your home.”

„Blessed are those who dwell in your home, O Lord; they never cease to praise you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
