I think the following quote from the daily devotional by Oswald Chambers was “right on” for Mary and maybe especially for Joseph. It’s a great picture of what each of us should “aspire” to.
"Most of us live on the borders of consciousness- consciously serving, consciously devoted to God. All this is immature, it is not the real life yet. the mature stage is the life of a child which is never conscious; we become so abandoned to God that the consciousness of being used never enters in. When we are consciously being used as broken bread and poured-out wine, there is another stage to be reacehd, where all consciousness of ourselves and of what god is doing tthough us is eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint; a saint is consciously depenent on God."
