Year of Faith Christmas: Angels interview St. Joseph's faith: I became his disciple


I was His first disciple next to His Mother

Angels now asked Joseph
The quest they came with
Joseph smiled gently
Paused for a minute in recollection
Turned to them kindly
Started his response
I am his first disciple
Next to his mother
I experienced a peace
That could not be contained in reason
When angel explained
The incarnation
I fell on my knees of knowing
My unworthiness
Of leading the Holy family
In Triune God presence
Realizing nothing is impossible for God
I live a joyful life
That beyond any comparison
In realization of Incarnation
The reclamation of Trinity’s presence in the family
I see the signature of Holy presence
In Triune God presence
Where Mary and I reside
In Holy Trinity presence
In nurturing the Son of God
I have experienced
Trinity’s presence in my family
As natural events, unfold
When I was in the cross roads
In the dilemmatic confusion
In the angels guidance

I have seen Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit presence
In my Son’s presence
In the heart of my family
When the shepherds in Bethlehem
Came to the manger in singing
Holy angels’ song
In the glory of my Son’s birth
I have seen Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit presence
In my Son’s presence
In the heart of my family
When the kings and wise men
Came following the heavenly star
Travel from very far
Predicting Son of God birth
There when they told me
Their stories of travel
I have seen Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit presence
In my Son’s presence
In the heart of my family
When the soldiers of Herod
Slaughtered the innocent children
Knowing Son of God birth
Searching my son in my arms
In those sacrifices of innocent babies
Atonement shield
In the protection of the Son of God in my house
I have seen Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit presence
In my Son’s presence
In the heart of my family

When I carried baby Jesus
Hurrying to escape
In the midst of horrifying terror
Angel’s protection on our journey
I have seen Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit presence
In my Son’s presence
In the heart of my family
When I went with the birth offering
Into the temple of the Lord
There in Simon’s prophesy
I saw the Son of God
In the presence of His Father’s house
In relation with the Holy Spirit
I have seen Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit presence
In my Son’s presence
In the heart of my family
When I lost him in the temple
There he preach to the elders
As a young child
I stood in the crowd
Listened to His preaching
Then when he declared the wish to be in the Father’s
house
There I became his first disciple
Next to his mother
When I transformed from the foster father
To his disciple
I have seen Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit presence
In my Son’s presence
In the heart of my family
