VersicleGloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
ResponseSicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper et in s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) Justus ut palma florebit; sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur. Plantati in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri florebunt. (Psalm 91: 13, 14)
CollectSanctissimae Genitricis tuae Sponsi, quaesumus, Domine, meritis adjuvemur: ut, quod possibilitas nostra non obtinet, ejus nobis intercessione donetur: Qui vivis et regnas in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 91: 13, 14)
LessonLectio libri Sapientiae.
Dilectus Deo et hominibus, cujus memoria in benedictione est. Similem illum fecit in gloris sanctorum, et magnificavit eum in timore inimicorum, et in verbus suis monstra placavit. Glorificavit illum in conspectu regum, et jussit illi coram populo suo, et ostendit illi gloriam suam. In fide, et lenitate ipsius, sanctum fecit illum, et elegit eum ex omni carne. Audivit enim eum, et vocem ipsius, et induxit illum in nubem. Et dedid illi coram parecepta, et legem vitae et disciplinae.
Hæc fuit epistula.
ResponseDeo Gratias. (Ecclesiasticus (Wisdom of Ben Sira) 45: 1-6)

ResponseGloria CrossCrossCross tibi, Domine
Christi autem generatio sic erat: cum esset desponsata mater ejus Maria Joseph, antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto. 19 Joseph autem vir ejus cum esset justus, et nollet eam traducere, voluit occulte dimittere eam. Hæc autem eo cogitante, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei, dicens: Joseph, fili David, noli timere accipere Mariam conjugem tuam: quod enim in ea natum est, de Spiritu Sancto est. 21 Pariet autem filium: et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum.
Evangélium Dómini.
ResponseLaus Tibi, Christe. (Matthew 1: 18-21)
OffertoryEt veritas mea et misericordia mea cum ipso; et in nomine meo exaltabitur cornu ejus. (Psalm 88: 25)
SecretDebitum tibi, Domine, mostrae reddimus servitutis, suppliciter exorantes: ut, suffragiis beati Joseph, Sponsi Genitricis Filii tui Jesu Christi Domini nostri, in nobis tua munera tuearis, ob cujus venerandam fstivitatem laudis tibi hostias immolamus. Per eundem Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium Tuum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 88: 25)
Preface
(St 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 Festivitáte (vel Veneratióne) 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 Chris-tum Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Coeli coelorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séra-phim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes... sanctus, sanctus
Communio VerseHæc autem eo cogitante, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei, dicens: Joseph, fili David, noli timere accipere Mariam conjugem tuam: quod enim in ea natum est, de Spiritu Sancto est. (Matthew 1: 20)
Post-Communion PrayerAdesto nobis, quaesumus, misericors Deus: et, intercedente pro nobis beato Joseph Confessore, tua circa nos propitiatus dona custodi. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen. (Matthew 1: 20)

VersicleGlory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:
ResponseAs it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Lebanon. They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. (Psalm 91: 13, 14)
CollectWe beseech Thee, O Lord, that we may be helped by the merits of the Spouse of Thy most holy Mother, so that we cannot obtain of ourselves, may be given to us through his intercession. Who livest and reignest with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 91: 13, 14)
LessonToday’s lesson is from the Book of Wisdom.
Beloved of God and men, whose memory is in benediction. He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and showed him His glory. He sanctified him in his faith and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. for He heard him and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. And He gave him commandments before His face, and a law of life and instruction.
Here ends today’s lesson.
ResponseThanks be to God. (Ecclesiasticus (Wisdom of Ben Sira) 45: 1-6)
GradualVersicleFor thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness:
ResponseThou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.

TractBlessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he hath he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life. (James 1: 12)
GospelThe Lord be with you.
ResponseAnd with your spirit.
Cross The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
ResponseGlory CrossCrossCross to Thee, O Lord
Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Spirit. Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for That Which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call His name Jesus. for He shall save His people from their sins
The Gospel of the Lord.
ResponsePraise be to Thee, O Christ. (Matthew 1: 18-21)
OffertoryAnd my truth and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. (Psalm 88: 25)
SecretWe render Thee, O Lord, the debt of our service, humbly entreating that Thou wouldst preserve Thy gifts within us through the intercession of blessed Joseph, the Spouse of the Mother of Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; on whose holy festival we offer to Thee the sacrifice of praise. Through the same Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 88: 25)
Preface
(St Joseph)
It is truly meet and just, right and availing unto salvation, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty and everlasting God; and magnify Thee with due praise, bless and proclaim Thee blessed Joseph; who, as a just man, was given by Thee to be the spouse of 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, Jesus Christ our Lord, conceived by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. Through whom the angels praise Thy majesty, the dominions worship it, the powers stand in awe. the Heavens and the heavenly hosts with the blessed seraphim join together in cel-ebrating their joy. With these we pray Thee join our voices also, while saying with lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
Communio VerseBut while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 1: 20)
Post-Communion PrayerCome to our assistance, we beseech Thee, O merciful God; and through the intercession of blessed Joseph Thy confessor, graciously preserve Thy gifts about us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Matthew 1: 20)

About the information (below)

This information applies to the Diocese of Texas. If you are outside the diocese, the details
you see here are fairly standard throughout the western church. However, your bishop's rules may vary.
Diversity it worderful. These rules point to diversity. Neither we nor your bishop is "right" or "correct" ot "better."

Note on candles

The listing calendar items shows how many additional candles. Here are the rules for the base set of candles.

Use 2for priest celebrant, no incense
Use 4for priest celebrant, no incense
Use 6for any celebrant using incense
Add 1 if the celebrant is the Ordinary

Note on liturgical colors

Parishes and priests only need two colors: white and purple. White can substitute for every color, except purple.

WHITEUsed at Christmas, Easter, and other joyful celebrations. May be used at funerals, ordinations.
REDDays of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs.
ADVENT PURPLEThis is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have.
LENT PURPLEThis is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak).
GREENGreen is the "none of the above" color. If you don't have specific instructions on color, then the color is green.
ROSEUse on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays
BLUEAny Mass for/about the Blessed Virgin Mary
BLACKGood Friday and Funerals.
GOLDAt a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine.
SILVERWe don't use silver or any other color not mentioned.
