Joseph, the husband of Mary, gives a triple proof for his humanity in today's short Gospel passage. His sensitivity and humanity is shown when he decides to gently divorce Mary without putting her to shame in public. He reaffirms this human sensitivity when he pays heed to the divine messenger... thus being open to divinity. He seals his humanity and sensitivity when he actually takes in Mary to be his lawfully wedded wife even after knowing that the child in her womb is not his.
Who else can be more eligible to the title 'saint' than one who was fully and truly human, like Joseph?
