47.  His name is Immanuel – ‘God is with us’

 

Joseph was a just and pious man. He noticed that Mary, to whom he was betrothed, was expecting a child. Since he loved her and did not want to do her an injustice, he thought about how he could separate himself from her without attracting attention. That night, however, he saw a messenger from God, an angel. The angel said to him: Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid. Take Mary as your wife. The child she is expecting comes from God’s Spirit. She will have a son and you shall call him Jesus. For he will reconcile the people with God. Thus the words spoken by the prophet Isaiah were fullfilled: Behold, the virgin will conceive. She will give birth to a son who will be called Immanuel. His name means: ‘God is with us’.

 

(Mt 1)
