When the angel appeared in his dream, Joseph responded with courageous love making room for Mary, for the child, and for the unfolding work of God in their lives. Our theme carol invites us to “let loving hearts enthrone him,” and this is exactly what Joseph models. His love is not sentimental; it is sacrificial, steady, and protective. He becomes a living example of hospitality, creating space for Christ to enter the world and shaping the very environment in which Jesus would learn to love, welcome, and care for others. This week, we reflect on Joseph’s quiet but world-shaping love. How might we embody that same sacrificial love today? What does it look like to make room—for God, for our neighbors, and for one another-so that Love can be born again in our midst?
