Feast Day of St. Joseph
March 19
Today, March 19, is the feast day of St. Joseph, the most-chaste spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the father of Jesus on Earth. I was listening to a talk from Sensus Fidelium a couple of months ago where he explained the significant role of St. Joseph and that Jesus, although Our Lord and Savior, listened to and obeyed his father Joseph in all things.
I also heard that St. Joseph's contemplation as to what he should do about Mary when she told him she would be the mother of God wasn't about him saving face or fleeing from embarrassment, rather, he felt it was such a serious responsibility, that he didn't know if he was up for it, but an Angel appeared to let him know God trusted him.
On a side note, consumption of meat is permitted in the Catholic Church today since it is a solemnity.
