Today is Saint Joseph's Feast Day: the Foster Father of Christ, the Savior of the Savior! The Provider, Shepherd and Protector of the Good Shepherd, Teacher and Master and Lord! Men can understand now their role as fathers and what the Father wants...to just be taken care of like a little boy who can leave all up to His Father! With Joseph and Mary, God can finally rest and just let His Best Children take care of Him, without the stress of being in charge! I can trust these Two! I don't have think ahead and make provisions for their weaknesses, just be a Big Kid...Like Joseph, we are called to adopt Jesus as our own, and then, it does not stop there...we must share in His Fatherhood and Mary's Motherhood to the point where God becomes our baby to really love God they way He loves us! He does this Divine Role Reversal where we can save God from harm, disease, suffering and death, and raise Him, educate, teach and guide as our own! We all carry Christ in us and are responsible for feeding His Life in us as real as a Mother nourishes a child in her womb...Christian means Christ Bearer, that is what and who we are. All that so that God can have a home in us, and feel at home in us, more than in heaven-He loves to share our life on earth more than sit on a Throne in heaven, as any Good Father wonders what His children are going through right now...Saint Joseph show us how to get as close as we can to God by accepting to be all things to Him, a helpless baby, so He can cuddle us, and a father who takes care of Jesus in the helpless souls around me!
