An angel appeared to Joseph to reassure him after He learned of Mary’s expected Child. Away from home, with no comfortable lodging available, the Holy Family still welcomed shepherds who arrived after receiving heavenly tidings of the Savior’s birth. To keep Jesus safe from King Herod, the family fled to Egypt. John the Baptist, not much older than Jesus, later preached a baptism of repentance and hope of salvation through the One who came after him. Even if we cannot imagine what to say to someone in need of spiritual reassurance, do we trust the Lord to help us share newborn hope in our Savior?
