On this final Sunday of Advent, we hear an angel tell Joseph, in a dream, that he should take Mary, his betrothed who is already pregnant with a son, into his home since this fulfills a prophecy in Scripture. The faith required to undertake that mission, in the stark light of day, is astounding. We, too, are just days away from welcoming that same Jesus into our divided world, but do we have the purity of heart to do so? Paul reminds us that we are all called to belong to Jesus… that we are all called to be saints… but are we willing?
