Matthew 1:18-24
Question for Reflection:
Mary and Joseph must have been scared by what was happening to them: to be selected by God to be the parents of the Messiah! And yet, they responded faithfully and courageously to God’s call. Who do you know who has responded when God has called them? When has God worked through you?
Prayer for the day:
Grant us courage to respond, O God, when we hear your call. Amen
~ Kim Ebersole, Director of Family Life and Older Adult Ministries
