Sacred Heart Catholic Church The Baptism of the Lord ~ January 10, 2021

Reflections on St. Joseph by Pope Francis: (Continued)

2. A tender and loving father

Joseph saw Jesus grow daily “in wisdom and in years

and in divine and human favour” (Lk 2:52). As the

Lord had done with Israel, so Joseph did with Jesus:

“he taught him to walk, taking him by the hand; he

was for him like a father who raises an infant to his

cheeks, bending down to him and feeding him” (cf.

Hos 11:3-4).

In Joseph, Jesus saw the tender love of God: “As a

father has compassion for his children, so the Lord

has compassion for those who fear him” (Ps 103:13).

In the synagogue, during the praying of the Psalms, Joseph would surely

have heard again and again that the God of Israel is a God of tender

love,[11] who is good to all, whose “compassion is over all that he has

made” (Ps 145:9).

Reflexiones sobre San José del Papa Francisco:

2. Padre en la ternura

José vio a Jesús progresar día tras día «en sabiduría, en estatura y en gracia ante Dios y los hombres» (Lc 2,52).

Como hizo el Señor con Israel, así él “le enseñó a caminar, y lo tomaba en sus brazos: era para él como el padre

que alza a un niño hasta sus mejillas, y se inclina hacia él para darle de comer” (cf. Os 11,3-4).

Jesús vio la ternura de Dios en José: «Como un padre siente ternura por sus hijos, así el Señor siente ternura por

quienes lo temen» (Sal 103,13).

En la sinagoga, durante la oración de los Salmos, José ciertamente habrá oído el eco de que el Dios de Israel es un

Dios de ternura[11], que es bueno para todos y «su ternura alcanza a todas las criaturas» (Sal 145,9).
