He did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him

“‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.’ When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.” (MT 1: 20-21.24)

The Good News started when Mary and Joseph answered and did “as the angel of the Lord had commanded.” They experienced this in different ways and with different messages, but with the same love of God and connection of love—obedience.  It happens to those who listen carefully, always ready to answer. 

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