Joseph listened

(by request my homily from the Feast of the Holy Innocents)

In today’s Gospel, the magi figure out why Herod wants to know where the infant Jesus is.

When they leave town without telling him, Herod goes with Plan B. Killing all the boys under age 2.

After being warned by an angel in a dream, Joseph takes Mary and Jesus and flees to Egypt.

What’s the most important part of this Gospel?

It’s not that Herod was a homicidal tyrant. Although he was.

It’s not that the magi saw Herod for what he was and didn’t give Jesus up. Although they did.

And it’s not what the angel said to Joseph in the dream.

The most important part? What Joseph did.

Joseph listened.

The angel warned Joseph to flee to Egypt. And Joseph listened.

Because Joseph listened, Jesus wasn’t killed in Herod’s massacre.

Why is that the most important part of today’s Gospel? Because it’s a classic moment of Joseph being Joseph.

Every time we see Joseph in the Gospels, Joseph shows us how to trust God. And how to live out a relationship with God that’s grounded in that trust.

Jesus is God incarnate, the Second Person of the Trinity. Mary is the Immaculate Conception, born free from original sin. It can be hard to relate to people who are that amazing.

Which is why I am so glad that Joseph is part of this. Because Joseph is not part of the Trinity. He’s not free from original sin. Joseph is just a basic human being – with all the usual baggage that comes with being human – just like you and me.

And yet, Joseph shows us that it is possible for someone who’s just like you and me to trust God. And to live out a relationship with God that’s grounded in that trust.

God wants the best for Joseph. So, God sends the angel to warn Joseph in a dream.

Because Joseph trusts God, Joseph listens. And gets Mary and Jesus out of there.

And you’re thinking, “Well, Joseph listened because the angel of the Lord spoke to him in a dream. Anyone would listen to that.” I wish.

Sadly, that’s not true. The reason Joseph listens?

Because Joseph trusts God.

God is always speaking to you and me. Warning you away from danger. Propelling you towards the good that He made you to do. Calling you into a deeper relationship with Him.

That’s because God loves you and wants the best for you.

The thing to know is that just because God spoke to one person one way doesn’t mean that God is going to speak to you or me that way. God speaks to us in a lot of different ways.

For some of us, it may be through dreams like Joseph. For others, it may be a friend or family member who says something to you that rings true. For others, it may be a still small voice like Elijah heard. For still others, it may be an impulse, somehow just knowing down deep what to do.

How God speaks to you isn’t important. Here’s the part that matters:

When you hear the voice of God (however you hear it), do you trust God?

Do you trust God enough to listen and follow through, just like Joseph?

To honor God’s love for you by obeying his warning away from danger?

To live out God’s love for you by doing the good that He has made you to do?

To love God in return by trusting Him to be exactly who he says He is?

How God speaks to you isn’t important.

What you do about it – is everything.
