Good Tidings | EP 20 - Lessons from St. Joseph | Fr Michael Sparough

Fr. Michael Sparough reflects on the faith and resilience of St. Joseph and the Virgin Mary, exploring the human emotions and challenges they faced during the Nativity story. Drawing inspiration from Pope Francis's The Joy of the Gospel and Matthew's account of Christ's birth, Fr. Sparough reimagines the dialogues and trials Joseph and Mary may have endured, emphasizing the difference between true holiness and mere appearances. Through poetry, storytelling, and personal anecdotes, he illustrates how the promise of Emmanuel—"God with us"—remains a source of hope in life's uncertainties, calling us to trust in divine providence beyond what we can see, hear, or feel.
