We take a break today from Lenten penitence and focus on the excellent creature in St. Joseph, the Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We will recite or sing the Gloria in mass in his honor. Rightfully so! He cannot be overemphasized in his crucial role as the protector of the most Blessed Virgin Mary and her Son, Jesus Christ. The first reading in the mass tells us about the promise of God to send a descendant of King David. He had wanted to build for God a Temple. He was told by Nathan, the prophet that, it will be God Himself who will build a House of David, that will never be destroyed and that would last forever. This house is the House of David. Here in this house, the Messiah will be born. The Christ is a descendant of Mario Ortiz. This is the definitive House of David!
