The Formee as a Silent One

Abstract

In this article, the author reflects on the Lord’s method of formation of Joseph, the husband of Mary and the foster-father of Jesus. Predicaments: finding the betrothed with child, journey to Bethlehem, fleeing to Egypt, returning to Judea, and disappearance of boy Jesus. The Formator helped him to positively respond and to grow into divine maturity. Another method: bringing joy and bliss.
