On this final Sunday of Advent, the Gospel turns our attention to St. Joseph — the quiet, faithful guardian of Jesus and Mary. Though entrusted with an extraordinary role in the Incarnation, Joseph’s path is anything but easy. He faces confusion, rejection, closed doors, and the anguish of not understanding God’s plan.
This homily reflects on Joseph’s righteousness, his obedience in the dark, and his willingness to surrender even what seemed like the most prudent decision when God revealed something greater. Drawing from Scripture, tradition, and the Church’s devotion to St. Joseph, we are invited to learn how to wait with hope, trust God amid uncertainty, and follow His will without hesitation as we prepare for Christmas.
