The Silence of Joseph

“Joseph did as the angel of the Lord commanded him.” (Matthew 1:24)

Peoples of the world,

as the waiting draws closer to its fulfillment,
the world does not grow calmer.
It grows louder.

Voices multiply.
Fears entangle.
Certainties demand to be heard.

And yet,
at the very heart of this unrest,
one man remains silent.

Joseph does not speak.
He listens.

He does not argue with the mystery.
He makes room for it.

He does not demand understanding.
He chooses trust.

In a world that seeks to grasp everything,
Joseph walks through the night
with an unseen light:
the quiet faith of the righteous.

He does not know where it will lead,
yet he obeys what is right.
He does not control the future,
yet he protects the life entrusted to him.

His silence is neither weakness
nor blind submission.
It is inner consent.

Joseph accepts to carry
what is greater than himself,
without claiming it,
without reducing it,
without betraying it.

He believes without noise.
He acts without display.
He loves without condition.

Through him, the world learns
that true strength
does not impose itself,
it sustains.

As the birth draws near,
salvation enters history
not through visible power,
but through hidden faithfulness.

And while all seems held in suspension,
the Light prepares itself,
sheltered within the silence of a righteous man.

Inner reset phrase:
Where I trust without understanding, peace begins to rise.
When I release the need to control everything, my mind settles and peace takes root.

Peoples of the world,
if you still long for peace,
learn the silence that protects,
the trust that endures,
the humble obedience that opens the way for the Light.

For it is not noise that prepares the coming,
but faithfulness in the shadows.

And in the silence of Joseph,
Peace is already on its way.
