First Reading for Solemnity of Saint Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Daily Catholic Mass Reading
2 Samuel 7:4-5a, 12-14a, 16
The LORD spoke to Nathan and said:
“Go, tell my servant David, ‘When your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your heir after you, sprung from your loins, and I will make his kingdom firm.
It is he who shall build a house for my name.
And I will make his royal throne firm forever.
I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me.
Your house and your kingdom shall endure forever before me; your throne shall stand firm forever.’”
