God. Why this is to me.
In This Blog i would like to bring some deep thoughts which we will meditate in the way St.Joseph would have undergone in his mind and lived his life.
To Start as perceived by Many historians St.Joseph was not a widower as many of the people mistake we will discuss in the coming posts.
God the father when said to Devil that a Women would crush your head he wanted a women of purity to the fullest like him to do it. And that to happen she cannot just be like a Warrior in War field to crush the Devil's head, here we should understand the God's way of doing things. Why did he chase the Devil out of Heaven ? because it chose itself as God's equal and assumed he can be God, it failed to Obey the God the Almighty. Obedience is the first Virtue to be a holy person, Obedience to God, Obedience to own heart , this is exactly why God chose The Most holy Person who will be Obedient to him and he will crush the Devil through the Obedience devoted.
God chose everyone around Redeeming of the world Very carefully and who will be Obedient so that God will work through them.
St.Joseph had no intention of marriage until the High priest insists that he marry, out of sheer compulsion he accepts and for long time he wanted to live a simple life of a Carpenter but very Obedient to God. For God Cannot execute the plan of Human Redemption with a flawed person who can easily misguided and carried away of Devil Temptation, it was very evident that Adam and Eve failed to the Temptation and God have to chose a person Most Holy to protect the Divine Plan.
When St.Joseph doesnt ever want to get married he wanted to keep his Virginity protected without a single Sin of perversion. This is a HOLY MYSTERY which WE SHOULD ACCEPT if we believe in the CHRIST Redemption. God cannot allow a person of St.Joseph's Stature to commit a sin and who will be a Foster Father of the CHRIST.
God has a plan for everyone who take a birth on this Earth and we agree to fulfill his wish in the earth and come with a commitment. St.Joseph also was chosen among all the Men on Earth to fulfill the God's Divine Plan, the man who doesnt want to get married, protect his Virginity and lead a simple life. God had a different plan which we cant anticipate, GOD chose Joseph even before he was to born just like Mother Mary but he allowed all the Worldly rituals to complete so that he is not identified as a chosen one.
St.Joseph's marriage was fixed with a unknown girl, all his vows of being offered till his last breathe got shattered. He was betrothed and but he was wondering what is God's plan for him?, all these years God protected him for all sins and made him a Purest kind but now suddenly a Godly Priest pushes him to marriage. He was Obedient and accepted for he was sure God will take care of his people in all circumstances, he would have just said "If its God's Will I will accept it and God will Lead him".
Think How could have St.Joseph come to know that the Girl whom he doesnt know got Pregnant? And Now he hears the murmurs of people around him, they mock him and laugh at him and few congratulate him also. St.Joseph is Confused as a common Man, may be he learns through his Brother's Wife that he is going to be a Father of a child. Imagine the Agony and shame he underwent at the time, nothing is written in Bible but if we introspect enough we can easily understand the pain of St.Joseph.
Oh God what have you done to my Life? why did you forsake me? How can you leave me to lurch and cry in silence. I Trusted you and why me?. People Presume that all these years he was acting very pious and now he has become the Talk of family and friends for they see St.Mary pregnant and Only he Knows that he is still carrying his purity and always , he would have agreed earlier with St.Mary that both of them will carry their purity till death. BUT NOW He is confused.
How can a girl who promised to be pure go bad and get pregnant with someone else while the Betrothed person is alive. St.Joseph can neither say he was not the father of St.Mary's mother nor committed any Sin. He would have to be very careful on what he does or Says for it will affect both him and Our Lady very badly. St.Joseph might have thought to consult with someone and vent his point of view but who will believe him. He now has to prove his innocence, his pious and justify his life he has lead all these years.
