Wednesday of the Third Week of Advent 2024

Righteousness, justice, salvation; these words are heard throughout today’s readings and are significant as we approach the celebration of the Incarnation. Righteousness is defined as acting in accord with Divine or moral law. True justice can only be obtained through the Just Judge, GOD himself, who shows no partiality and loves each of us equally as His own and confirmed this by sending His only Son so that everyone who follows Him will obtain Salvation – Eternal Life with GOD.  We cannot achieve salvation without GOD.  HE is in us and with us. Joseph knew this because as the Gospel states he was a righteous man and did not hesitate when the angel told him he was part of GOD’s plan for the salvation of the world. Are we prepared to follow the path of righteousness and allow GOD to be the Just Judge?
