Joseph is the husband of Mary and father of Jesus. The name Joseph means "God will add" which is fitting because Joseph is added to the lives of Mary and Jesus to guide them on their holy mission where life is made new again for all of us experience.
And now we our the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God and of course we have our Jesus Lord Christ but Joseph the erstwhile servant Dad is left a little in the shadows.
Like many fathers Joseph is somewhat in the background he is the guide, the escort, the shepherd.
We fathers and dads today must realize our role to play even if it feels like we are in the background. Like our heavenly Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we serve and shepherd the family. We nurture, care, teach, protect, and serve the mother and children a joyous, glorious, life everlasting.
Fathers be steadfast and follow the path of our heavenly Father and Shepherd who has sent us his beloved Son Jesus the Son of both God and Man to show us the path. When we stay close and follow his example, teachings, and Word our path is made smooth.
Let's be strong Fathers for all our families.
We do all in Christ which strengthen us.
Amen.
With Love,
