In this homily, we explore the theme of trust as exemplified by Joseph and Ahaz. While Ahaz refuses to trust in God’s plan, Joseph shows humility and changes his course of action according to divine guidance. As we prepare for Christmas, we are reminded of the importance of trusting in God, even when faced with fear and uncertainty. The homily encourages us to apply this trust in various aspects of our lives, including our material resources, as a testament to our faith.
