Today the Church remembers ” Saint Joseph the Worker “.
In the Gospel there is a “ indirect nod “to the foster father of Jesus.
“ Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? “.
Joseph is identified in his “ Work “, which also serves for “ labeland “ Christ.
How can’ ” a carpenter’s son “ know all these things?
It therefore becomes for them “ cause for scandal “.
The “ labels “.
We’re all great at putting them on people.
That is ” the prisoner’s son “ and, therefore, nothing good can come from him; that is ” the garbage collector’s son “, and, therefore, he will never be able to say things worthy of note; that is “ the doctor’s son “ and, therefore, regardless, it must be listened to.
These ” labels “They ruin the people on whom they are affixed but they also ruin those who affix them because they close him off, preventing him from dealing with the man behind the label stuck on him.
And so it was for the “ people “what remained” shocked “ from the teaching of Jesus.
Instead of welcoming him, instead of following the Master, they do not accept what He says because ” he was the carpenter’s son “.
And so it happens that, because of their unbelief, Jesus “ he didn’t do many wonders “.
Do we really believe that Christ is the Son of God and that he came to save us?
If the answer is positive we will be able to notice everyone ” the wonders “ which he has already done, is doing and will continue to do in our lives.
If it’s negative” he will not be able to work wonders “ in us because we prevent it.
Have a good day and good reflection everyone.
