Theshepherdswerethefirsttobetoldofthebirth oftheMessiasbecauseinthiswayGodintendedto showHisloveforthepoor.Fromthefirstmomentof HisBirth,Christwastobeasignofcontradiction;from thebeginningHeidentifiedHimselfwiththeunderdog, notwiththesuccessfulandpowerfulofthisworld.

The"Amazement"
OfChristmas
HEQUIETofthefirstChristmasnightwas brokenbyglorioustidingsdeliveredbyan angelicchoir.Theaudiencewasofamost exclusivenature-thepoor,thehumble,the pure.Yetthemessagehascomedownthroughthe ages,withthepowertoinfluencethemighty,therich andthewholeofmankind.
Whoistheexclusiveaudienceforthisextraordinary concertofheavenlyharmonies-afewroughshepherds, coarseanddirty,thesmelloftheirflockheavyupon them.Atthattimeshepherdswereadespisedminority. ThePhariseeshadnouseforthembecausethey neglectedtheinnumerableandimpracticalritualistic purifications.
Shepherdswerenotevenacceptableaslegalwitnesses.Why,then,werethesepoormenthefirstto hearoftheNativity?
WhynottheimportantandinfluentialPharisees, sittingwarmandcomfortablebytheirfiresathome? Whywasnotthemessageoftheangelsfirstdeliveredto thecourtofHerodtheGreat,justsixmilestothenorth inJerusalem?
Theshepherdswerethefirsttobetoldofthebirth oftheMessiasbecauseinthiswayGodintendedto showHisloveforthepoor.Fromthefirstmomentof HisBirth,Christwastobeasignofcontradiction;from thebeginningHeidentifiedHimselfwiththeunderdog, notwiththesuccessfulandpowerfulofthisworld.
St.Josephisoftendepictedasanoldman.However, thereareseveralargumentsfavouringSt.Joseph's youth.CertainlyaspouseclosetoMary'sagewould makeamoresympatheticcompanion,wouldbebetter abletofindworkandprovidefortheHolyFamily. Moreover,ifwethinkofSt.Josephasfairlyyoung, thevirtuesweassociatewithhimbecomeevenbrighter. Patience,forexample,weratherexpectinseasonedand experiencedmen;itisallthemorenotableinthe young, St.Joseph'ssilenceappearsmorepraiseworthy;we donothaveonewordspokenbyhimintheNewTestament.HisabsoluteconfidenceinGodandunqyestioning obediencetoHisorders-aswhentheangelappeared tohimduringsleepinstructinghimtofleewithmother andChildtoEgypt-thiscomesthroughasallthemore remarkableforhisyouth.Finally,St.Josephaspatron oftheworkingmantakesonsharperoutlines,comes intoclearerfocusifwethinkofhimasstillyoungand virile.
