Matthew 1:18-25:
In the first chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, we move through the centuries to the moment in time when God’s plan is revealed. At the heart of the story is a good man, conflicted yet obedient to God’s will. His plan to handle the situation discreetly changes because of the words of the divine messenger from God.
St. Joseph, patron of the universal Church, we ask you to pray for God’s Church throughout the world that she may lead justly and serve with compassion.
