Readings of the day
Saint Joseph the Worker
First Reading: Genesis 1:26-2:3 or Colossians 3:14-15,17,23-24
Psalm: 89:2-4,12,1,16
Gospel: Matthew 13:54-58
In those days, Jesus came to his hometown and began to teach the people in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these deeds of power? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?” And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honour except in their own country and in their own house.” And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.
