We become children of God and of the Church because of baptism and "We have all, indeed, been baptized in one Spirit, to form one body." Preparation or care for the priestly vocation is precious, because the Church confers the sacrament of Holy Orders only on baptized men (viris). Catechesis on "Nurturing the priestly vocation", with Fr. Abdon Rafidison.

Saint Joseph has total confidence in the saving power of God. He is the example of the obedience of faith and of love for each member of the Church, by his "yes" to the will of God communicated to him by the angel. It helps us understand the role of a responsible father.

When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child
she gave birth to a son.
Her neighbors and relatives heard
that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her,
and they rejoiced with her.
When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child,
they were going to call him Zechariah after his father,
but his mother said in reply,
"No. He will be called John."
But they answered her,
"There is no one among your relatives who has this name."
So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called.
He asked for a tablet and wrote, "John is his name,"
and all were amazed.
Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed,
and he spoke blessing God.
Then fear came upon all their neighbors,
and all these matters were discussed
throughout the hill country of Judea.
All who heard these things took them to heart, saying,
"What, then, will this child be?
For surely the hand of the Lord was with him."
