FAMILY.

We can only assume that

Mary and Joseph

indeed shepherd Jesus

with the love of God.

It couldn't have been done

any other way.

Though we have read

so little about Joseph,

our faith dictates to us

that he was a good father,

a good carpenter

and a good husband to Mary.

Only goodness and kindness

shall follow me

all the days of my life!

Psalm 23:6.

That is how it was

with St. Joseph and with Mary

for God was in them

and they lived

the way of godliness.

As we contemplate

on these words,

we pray

for the millions of parents

who shepherd

God's little children.

We pray

that in each of these families

goodness and kindness

will follow them

wherever they are

and wherever they go.

This is God's way

and the way to bear

good children

raised in the vineyard

of our most loving God.

To Him we give praise!

Now and always! Amen!
