​...the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Mt 1:20-21

We shall praise you on this day when you calmed the troubled soul of Joseph. May we go forth with him to you in all confidence. Maronite Liturgy - Revelation to Joseph Week

The angel found Joseph and dispelled the trouble in his heart. "Do not be afraid, for that which is begotten in her is the holy One and will be called the Son of the Most High." Maronite Liturgy - Revelation to Joseph Week

"Let us now make our prayer to him:
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil. Amen."
