Wednesday of the Second Week of Lent
Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary
GOSPEL OF THE DAY: MATTHEW 1: 16, 18-21, 24a
Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus who is called the Christ.
The birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they came to live together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph was a just man and did not wish to expose her to the ordeal of public disgrace; therefore, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
After he had decided to follow this course of action, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary into your home as your wife. For this child has been conceived in her womb through the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
