Just days before Christmas, the Church invites us to
consider the righteousness of Abraham and Joseph the betrothed of Mary. These
two holy ancestors of God lived their life dedicated and loyal to the promise
of God, despite the reality they never set their eyes on God’s promise. The
Birth of God ushers in the beginning of God’s fulfillment for an end to death
and beginning of a new eternal life in Christ. Though Abraham and Joseph never
witnessed the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom, we too may not witness the fullness
of the Kingdom, but we are called to be righteous. God will fulfill His
promise, and our willingness to embrace the righteousness of Abraham and
Joseph, will prepare us to receive the fullness of God’s eternal comfort and
love. Do YOU what it takes to be righteous this Christmas?
