This coming Sunday, we commemorate Father’s Day. Well, I am a father, a husband, and a grandfather. I think I am qualified to answer those two questions. But I won’t attempt to answer. I will let you reach your conclusion about this critical issue nowadays. Just read the biblical story of Josef and Mary. That will be fine if you want to tell all of us about your findings. If not, it is fine too.

“Joseph was a descendant of the house of King David. After marrying Mary, he found her already pregnant and, “being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace” (Matthew 1:19), decided to divorce her quietly. Still, an angel told him that the child was the Son of God and was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Obeying the angel, Joseph took Mary as his wife. After Jesus’ birth at Bethlehem in Judaea, where the Holy Family received the Magi, an angel warned Joseph and Mary about the impending violence against the child by King Herod, the Great of Judaea. After that, they fled to Egypt. The angel again appeared to Joseph, informing him of Herod’s death and instructing him to return to the Holy Land. Avoiding Bethlehem out of fear of Herod’s successor, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus settled in Nazareth (Matthew 2:22–23) in Galilee, where Joseph taught his craft of carpentry to Jesus. Joseph is last mentioned in the Gospels when he and Mary frantically searched for the lost young Jesus in Jerusalem, where they found him in the Temple (Luke 2:41–49).” [1]
