Pastoral Reflection

It is a tall order to believe that our subconscious, our

dreams, has anything to do with our daily life. Psychologists,

and God, too, would disagree! God finds

uncanny ways to speak to us. While the essence of the

Gospel today is allowing the father (Joseph) to protect

his family, it is also about trusting wholeheartedly in

God, no matter what. When you go to sleep tonight,

place your deepest needs into God’s hands. Ask for an

answer. Wait to receive a response. It may not come in

the expected manner, but God’s loving heart always

responds. As the Divine Parent of all in heaven, God

protects. Allow God to do this loving job for your life.

For this to happen, you have to offer, trust, and then

believe.
