In this second meditation of our Advent series, Fr. Eric Nicolai invites us to contemplate St. Joseph, the “strong and silent” figure whose hidden fidelity protected the Savior of the world. Drawing on the Gospels, the devotion of the Church, and the reflections of Pope Francis, he shows how Joseph’s fatherly heart reveals a model of decisive action, humble service, and spiritual readiness. Joseph’s four angelic dreams and his immediate response to each one inspire us to reject procrastination, embrace our mission, and move with trust toward the manger. Listen now to reflect on:  • Joseph’s role as protector of Mary and Jesus  • Why he is a model of courage, responsibility, and reliability  • The meaning of his four dreams and his instant obedience  • How Joseph teaches us to find our mission in the ordinary  • What it means to serve God quietly and faithfully during Advent Download our free Advent devotional, Journey to the Manger, for guided prayer with the writings of St. Josemaria and questions for deeper reflection to accompany our Advent podcast series. Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!Let us know that our podcast is important to you: Share your favorite episodes with others and leave us a rating or review.
