Joseph took his wife Mary into his home who bore him a son ... and he named him Jesus ... December 24, 2014
Matthew's account of the birth of Jesus offers us Joseph's perspective on the events that transpired. Joseph is a "righteous man" who cares for his wife, pregnant without human relations. Through a dream he learns of the conception and is instructed as to the name which will be given. He further learns that this fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah which confirms Jesus' divine identity: "God is with us".
Recording is of the 10:00 pm Mass at 14 Holy Helpers Church in West Seneca, NY on December 24, 2014. |
