Took his wife into his home

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

We know the story. But from the story, we need to move to the meaning: how do we implement this story in our lives? “Take your wife into your home”— give her an important space in your heart, make her part of it. Share with her your inner space, your life and adventures; share with her your presence and future. Be one body. 

“O Leader of the House of Israel, giver of the Law to Moses on Sinai: come to rescue us with your mighty power!” (Gospel Acclamation)
