"Joseph did as the angel...had commanded him" (Matthew 1:24)
"Jesus went...to Nazareth, and was obedient to them" (Luke 2:51).
There is a remarkable resonance between the Gospel for today and it's alternate. In the one, Joseph faces the implications of Mary's pregnancy. In the other, Jesus is confronted by Mary and Joseph. One hears the voice of an angel. The other, the voice of his mother. Both respond in kind with a steady heroism...aka obedience.
