St Joseph with the Infant Jesus, Guido Reni (c. 1635).
Readings:

2 Samuel 7:4,8-16;
Romans 4:13-18;
Luke 2:41-52
O God, who from the family of your servant David raised up Joseph to be the guardian of your incarnate Son and the spouse of his virgin mother: Give us grace to imitate his uprightness of life and his obedience to your commands; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
