Our word is ‘dream.’ The reading from
Matthew delves into a dream. Only, considering the implications of Joseph's reality, it is more

circumstances. We are reminded that Jesus comes into a family facing turmoil and upheaval.
Jesus comes into the complicated relationships of our life and world. This makes his birth
all the more real and relevant.
