Joseph son of David , do not be afraid.
To take Mary home as your wife.
He understood with faith , he stayed.
And he nurtured new life.I was at mass in St Joseph’s chapel.
For his feast day.
With doubt he too had to grapple.
Doubts aside to lay , he decided to stay.

I pray to Joseph for new starts.
New opportunities.
Welcoming hearts.
New communities.

Faith prompted him to believe.
And we too can receive.

…….

Do not be afraid
The angel said to Joseph
And also to us

…..

See Matthew 1
