Just last week I made my consecration to Mary. Happy Birthday most Blessed Lady! Like Joseph, I am fearful and nervous about what lies ahead and what I will encounter. Thank you, Bob, for helping me realize that each new venture entails wonder and hesitation, even resistance, especially at my upper age. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, be with us to guide, encourage and challenge, Amen.

Thanks a lot,Bob, for the insight given to the reflection. Especially in the area of Joseph’s fear for wanting to divorce Mary-that of unworthiness.
Before now, I had sometimes reasoned narrowly that his thought and fear stemmed from suspicion of unfaithfulness. Thanks for the revelation once again…!

Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord
If You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart

An excellent insight into what Joseph went through, Bob, and a great encouragement to us all not to be afraid but to try to welcome and embrace the challenges before us, with Our Lady’s support.
