Homily for Fourth Sunday of Advent Year A ( December 21, 2025 ) | Matthew 1:18-24 ( St Joseph )

Fourth Sunday of Advent (A) Homily by Fr Mathew Charthakuzhiyil , Homily for 21st December 2025, the Fourth Sunday of Advent Year A Preparation for Christmas | Preparing for the Birth of Jesus Christ From the Gospel according to Matthew Mt 1:18-24 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means "God is with us." When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. DAILY CATHOLIC GOSPEL READING & WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER https://www.vaticannews.va/en/word-of...
