Today's Gospel is about the Holy Family's Flight to Egypt and the Feast of the Holy Innocents. I guess I can easily continue with the theme I started on Christmas day of a God who is hard to accept.
Joseph had it pretty bad. He was commanded to accept Mary and the baby that wasn't his. He obeyed that command but then it didn't stop there. He had to make the trek to Bethlehem for the census (which according to Google Maps is a journey of 155 kms) and had problems finding suitable accommodations. And now he had to leave everything behind, bring his family to a foreign country and wait for Herod to die.
Joseph should be given an award, second only to Jesus, for mindful obedience.
