Homily #150123b ( 12min) Play - On this day the Franciscans of the Immaculate celebrate the espousal of Mary and Joseph. Fr. Elias points out how the marriage of Mary and Joseph was a true marriage even though it involved a vow of virginity. Further, it is the model of all marriages based on the complete, sacrificial giving of themselves to each other in conformity with God's plans and achieved with His grace.
