Thursday of the Third Week of Advent
Today's Readings:
- Jeremiah 23:5-8
- Psalm 72.1-2, 12-13, 18-19
- Matthew 1.18-25
Today's Reflection:
We are all governed by a justice system which has been created by humans. God asked much more of Joseph than just what was human justice. He asked Joseph to marry the Woman and raise the Child as his own, which was completely contrary to human justice at the time. Human justice would have been to divorce her quietly. When we encounter difficulties and difficult situations, should we not try to leave behind our human thinking, and instead ask, "What would God want me to do?"
