As we approach the solemnity of the Holy Family it is good to ponder the marriage of Mary and Joseph.
If there ever was a "marriage made in heaven" their marriage was the perfect example. Their spousal love for each other was so holy and pure as their Love for God was first and foremost, that inspired their love for each other. As Pope St John Paul in his Apostolic exhortation Guardian of the Redeemer and the reflections of many other saints,  we are reminded that there never was a love between spouses as deep and beautiful as the Love between Joseph and Mary as it flowed from their Love for the Good Lord and His will. It is no wonder that the Good Lord brought them together in Holy Marriage and gifted them with being the parents of His Divine Son resulting in the Holy Family! Alleluia!
