St. Joseph

Throughout his life, St. Joseph showed us a perfect example of active consecration.
Though both having a figure of father in bibical history, unlike Abramham, St. Joshep didn't obtain any promise from God such as receiving multiplied descendents as many as the satrs of the heaven and the sand that is on the shore.
He'd obeyed to God and sacrified himself for Him only because of the message of angel from his dream.

We all have hopes and dreams from God since Jesus sacrified himself for the sake of all of us. Jesus told us that as long as we love God and love each other, we will ultimately encounter into the kingdom of God and live eternal life with Him.
But St. Joshep didn't know all these and he had to protect Jesus as an adoptive father, not being protected by Him like us.

Therefore, not only he is the father of Jesus, but also a father of all of us.

Let's pray to God through him, as brother Andre did when we have a difficulty loving and obeying God.
