Optional memorial: Saint Joseph the Worker

First ReadingActs 7:51—8:1a

From the Acts of the Apostles

51“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears,you always resist the Holy Spirit!As your fathers did, so you do.52Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute?They killed thosewho foretold the coming of the Righteous One,of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.53You received the law as it was ordained by angels,and didn’t keep it!”

54Now when they heard these things,they were cut to the heart,and they gnashed at him with their teeth.55But he, being full of the Holy Spirit,looked up steadfastly into heavenand saw the glory of God,and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,56and said, “Behold,I see the heavens openedand the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

57But they cried out with a loud voiceand stopped their ears,then rushed at him with one accord.58They threw him out of the city and stoned him.The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.59They stoned Stephen as he called out,saying, “Lord Jesus,receive my spirit!”60He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice,“Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!”When he had said this, he fell asleep.

1Saul was consenting to his death.A great persecution arose against the assemblywhich was in Jerusalem in that day.They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria,except for the apostles.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 31:3cd-4, 6 and 7b and 8a, 17 and 21ab

3Bow down your ear to me.Deliver me speedily.Be to me a strong rock,a house of defense to save me.4For you are my rock and my fortress,therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

6Into your hand I commend my spirit.You redeem me, Lord, God of truth.7I hate those who regard lying vanities,but I trust in the Lord.8I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness,for you have seen my affliction.You have known my soul in adversities.

17Make your face to shine on your servant.Save me in your loving kindness.21In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man.You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

GospelJohn 6:30-35

From the Gospel according to John

30They said therefore to him,“What then do you do for a sign,that we may see and believe you?What work do you do?31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness.As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

32Jesus therefore said to them,“Most certainly, I tell you,it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven,but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.33For the bread of God is thatwhich comes down out of heavenand gives life to the world.”

34They said therefore to him,“Lord, always give us this bread.”

35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.Whoever comes to me will not be hungry,and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Colossénses.

Col. 3:14-15, 17, 23-24

Fratres: Caritátem habéte, quod est vínculum perfectiónis, et pax Christi exsúltet in córdibus vestris, in qua et vocáti estis in uno córpore, et grati estóte. Omne quodcúmque fácitis in verbo aut in ópere, ómnia in nómine Dómini Jesu Christi, grátias agéntes Deo et Patri per ipsum.

Col. 3:14-15, 17, 23-24

Brethren: Have charity, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 13:54-58

In illo témpore: Véniens Jesus in pátriam suam, docébat eos in synagógis eórum, ita ut miraréntur et dícerent: Unde huic sapiéntia hæc et virtútes? Nonne hic est fabri fílius? Nonne mater ejus dícitur María, et fratres ejus Jacóbus et Joseph et Simon et Judas? Et soróres ejus nonne omnes apud nos sunt? Unde ergo huic ómnia ista? Et scandalizabántur in eo. Jesus autem dixit eis: Non est prophéta sine honóre nisi in pátria sua et in domo sua. Et non fecit ibi virtútes multas propter incredulitátem illórum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 13:54-58

At that time: Jesus coming into His country, He taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this Man by this wisdom and miracles? Is not this the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude: and His sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath He all these things? And they were scandalized in His regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And He wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

PrefacePrefatio

de S. Joseph

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Et te in Solemnitáte beáti Joseph débitis magnificáre præcóniis, benedícere et prædicáre. Qui et vir justus, a te Deíparæ Vírgini Sponsus est datus: et fidélis servus ac prudens, super Famíliam tuam est constitútus: ut Unigénitum tuum, Sancti Spíritus obumbratióne concéptum, paterna vice custodíret, Jesum Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:

St. Joseph

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: and that we should magnify with due praises, bless and proclaim Thee on the solemnity of blessed Joseph; who, being a just man, was given by Thee as a Spouse to the Virgin Mother of God, and, as a faithful and prudent servant was set over Thy Family, that, with fatherly care, he might guard Thine only-begotten Son, conceived by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, even Jesus Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, and the Powers stand in awe. The heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with them we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted, while we say with lowly praise:
