Do Not Be Afraid

Some people are afraid to pray to Mary;

To get too close to Mary.

For some odd reason that it might take them away from Jesus.

This is why God sent an angel to Joseph,

That he should not be afraid to draw close to Mary,

And take her as his wife. Mt. 1:20.

And when he did, what happened.

He got Jesus!

When Joseph took Mary into his heart and his home,

Jesus came with her.

So Joseph teaches us to never be afraid to welcome Mary into our hearts,

For when we do,

The Child she bore in her womb and nursed at her breast,

Comes with her.

God Bless
