Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Mt.7:24
Hearing then doing. This reminds me of Saint Joseph. He heard God in dreams and then immediately acted. Advent has me focussing on Joseph leading a heavily pregnant Mary on a donkey, protecting her, encouraging her, loving her.
I have four daughters. They each say Joseph is the model of the man to marry. He demonstrates how to cherish, protect and provide for the woman he loves.
So, hear then do. Advent s not only a time to prepare the way, it's a time for doing.
Saint Joseph, please pray for me.
