Sap. 10:17
Sapiéntia réddidit justis mercédem labórum suórum, et dedúxit illos in via mirábili, et fuit illis in velaménto diéi et in luce stellárum per noctem, allelúja, allelúja.
Wisdom rendered to the just the wages of their labors, and conducted them in a wonderful way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night, allelúja, allelúja.
Ps 126:1
Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, in vanum labórant qui ædíficant eam.
Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it.

Collect
Rerum cónditor Deus, qui legem labóris humáno géneri statuísti: concéde propítius; ut, sancti Joseph exémplo et patrocínio, ópera perficiámus quæ præcipis, et præmia consequámur quæ promíttis.
O God, Creator of all things, Who dost impose on man the law of work; grant in Thy goodness that, by the example and patronage of blessed Joseph, we may both accomplish the work Thou dost command and attain the reward Thou hast promised.
Epistle
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Colossénses.
Lesson from the letter of St. Paul to the Colossians
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. Quodcúmque fácitis, ex ánimo operámini sicut Dómino, et non homínibus, sciéntes quod a Dómino accipiétis retributiónem hereditátis. Dómino Christo servíte.
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.

Gospel
Sequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
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.
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.
Offertory
Ps 89:17
Bónitas Dómini Dei nostri sit super nos, et opus mánuum nostrárum secúnda nobis, et opus mánuum nostrárum secúnda, allelúja.
Let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct Thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do Thou direct. Alleluia.
Secret
Quas tibi, Dómine, de opéribus mánuum nostrárum offérimus hóstias, sancti Joseph interpósito suffrágio, pignus fácias nobis unitátis et pacis.
