Joseph was a man of honour: Fittingly our Church celebrates today the Feast of St Joseph, postponed from yesterday. Joseph is truly 'the quiet man' of Scripture. He has no speaking role but we are allowed to peep into his heart and admire that nobility that we find there. How is Joseph to deal with the law which says that Mary must be stoned to death for seeming infidelity? Lucky he, and lucky we, that an angel offers clarification. The promises made long before to David, are reflected in the life of this silent doer in the Holy Family. When he woke up he did what the angel had told him to do. Now it's our turn!
