G od, in His Divine Providence chose Saint Joseph, who was the

descendant of David, to be the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He was
obedient and in all humility said, ‘yes’, without questioning. Next to our Blessed

Mother, he was the greatest of saints. His ‘yes’ changed the world. He was head

of the Holy Family - their protector and provider. Saint Joseph was the foster
father of Jesus. He was also Jesus’s teacher and he taught by example.

God, in His Divine Providence,

chose Mary, above all women to be the

Mother of God. Our Blessed Mother
Mary is the Immaculate Conception.

She alone, out of all humanity was

conceived without original sin.

The Blessed Virgin Mary in

all humility was obedient to God.
She had free will as we all do and

without understanding she freely
said yes to God. Her ‘yes’ changed

the world.

Our Christian lineage and

history are found through Mary.
By her fidelity and obedience, God

used her to bring salvation to
mankind through the incarnation

of Christ, the Son of God. The

Blessed Virgin Mary is greater

than all the saints. She is the
Mother of God.
