Reflection

“And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.” ~ Luke 2:4-5

Prayer

Living Lord, as the Mexican tradition recalling the trials endured by Mary and Joseph while journeying to Bethlehem reminds us, life can be difficult and filled with obstacles. And yet we trust in your presence with and among us. Give us the fortitude that drove Mary and Joseph forward despite the challenges they encountered, trusting that you are leading us. And renew our commitment to making easier the journey of others, especially people who are poor and marginalized. With confidence in your presence, we pray. Amen.
