Today Fr. Luke Meyer explores the role of St. Joseph in Advent and his unique virtue of listening. Despite his popularity and importance, St. Joseph remains silent in the Gospels, which speaks volumes about his character as a listener. This episode delves into how his silent obedience and attentiveness can serve as a model for us, especially in an age where genuine human connection and listening seem to be dwindling. We examine the value of listening, challenges that hinder it, and practical steps to improve this essential skill.
