"Joseph saw Jesus grow daily 'in wisdom and in years and in divine and human favor' (Luke 2:52). 

As the Lord had done with Israel, so Joseph did with Jesus: he taught him to walk, taking him by the hand; he was for him like a father who raises an infant to his cheeks, bending down to him and feeding him (cf. Hos 11:3-4). In Joseph, Jesus saw the tender love of God."  --Pope Francis, Patris Corde

Take a few minutes today to reflect on the places in your life where you see the tender love of God. How do you show the tender love of God to others?
