Joseph her husband

Posted on Saturday, June 04, 2022 by Women of Grace Staff

June 4th
“This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[e] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.'
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means “God with us").' When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.”
-Matthew 1: 18 - 24

Love is proved by service

Posted on Monday, May 30, 2022 by Women of Grace Staff

May 30
“How are Catholic women to accomplish their providential role as spiritual mothers (with Mary) of the human race?
They are to love Jesus, by spending themselves in serving the needs of Christ’s children as they have never done before… Love is proved by service. It is in spending ourselves for others that we mainly show our love for Our Lord…"
