Contemplation of the first decade
“Joseph, who was a good man, did not want to defame Mary and decided to secretly reject her. While he was thinking about this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said: — Joseph, descendant of David, do not fear taking Mary as your wife, for what was conceived in her comes from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and she will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” (Mt 1, 19-21)
