6 December – Joseph’s dream

Sometimes even our best actions have costs for people that we love. Joseph was devastated by what Mary told him – until Gabriel appeared to him in a dream. Then he was overjoyed and resolved to support Mary and the child he would bring up as his own.

Is there anyone you love who needs your support today? Ask God to help you to help them.
