Jesus is God, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, Three Persons yet One God, is the greatest mystery of the Catholic faith which is beyond wonder.
Jesus choose to save us from our sins so we can have eternal happiness with Him by coming to us through the Holy Family which is another wonder of wonders.
Fr. Andrew Doze, a chaplain at Lourdes, on reflecting on these wonders wrote:
"St. John of the Cross [wrote]... 'God grants her [Mary] the favor of attaining to being deiform and united in the Most Holy Trinity, wherein she becomes God by participation, how is it a thing incredible that she should perform her work of understanding, knowledge and love in the Trinity, together with It, like the Trinity Itself, by a mode of participation, which God effects in the soul Itself?'"9
"It pleased God that Joseph should be the first to have experienced these wonders in Mary. As for us, it is in Joseph and Mary that we are called to experience them."
(Saint Joseph: Shadow of the Father, Pages 83-84 and Footnote 9: The Complete Works of St. John of the Cross, Spiritual Canticle, 38, vol. 2, p. 160)
Pray an Our Father now with Mary and Joseph in praise and adoration of the Most Holy Trinity.
