Today is the feast of the Apostles Saints Phillip and James in the Traditional Rite and the feast of Saint Joseph Opifex, the Worker, imposed in the Missal by Pius XII, indulging his deplorable spirit of innovation, and retained therein in the Pauline Rite. At Barroux, the monks celebrated the feast of Saint Joseph Spouse of the Blessed Virgin and Patron of the Universal Church with the Mass Adjutor (as was done e.g. in the 1920 Missale Romanum that I have). I don't know what is the Mass of Saint Joseph Opifex.
Am going out for the morning walk; it's just 0530. I have been up since 0200, having managed to abrade my right eye's cornea as I was waking from a deep sleep. Managed to doze (i.e. without the eye being too distressed when I closed it) for about an hour before 0430, at which point I stood in a hot shower for half an hour; the steam always helps. The most obnoxious consequence at present is the semi-constant stream of tears, on my face and through my nasal passage. In any case, this screwed up my praying the Office-- will only read Matins, later on-- and while I distractedly struggled through Lauds earlier will abandon Prime unless there's further improvement during the walk (as there may well be; in terms of the lamentable history of eye abrasions, this is a minor incident: but I tend to be a pathetic, melodramatic sufferer even of such ordinary afflictions as colds, ha). Haven't yet opened the audio recording at Barroux.
A lovely walk, in spite of not seeing normally out of my right eye. The turkeys were near the foot of the driveway, perhaps waiting for the last of their fellows to 'fly' down from their roosts, perhaps summoning up the courage to make the road crossing, perhaps simply waking up. One of the hens had already crossed and was foraging in the hedges and front yards; there have been two of them in the forward position the last few times I've walked that way.
Having put Clamaverunt ad te here, and then Adjutor, it only now dawns on me that at Saint-Eugène, the priest will say... whatever is the Mass of Saint Joseph Opifex: if it is Adjutor, that would be convenient, eh... but I know it's not.
The Mass of Saint Joseph Opifex Spouse of the Blessed Virgin is Sapiéntia réddidit iustis, which is here. The hyperlink because I've realised that I'm not going to put a third Mass on this page.
M le Curé is celebrating Holy Mass today; there are four biretta-wearing clerics in choir, too. FSSP seminarians, perhaps?

Of Saint Joseph Spouse of the Blessed Virgin and Patron of the Universal Church.
Introitus. Ps. 32, 20-21. Adjútor et protéctor noster est Dominus: in eo lætábitur cor nostrum, et in nómine sancto ejus speravimus, allelúja, allelúja. Ps. 79, 2. Qui regis Israël, inténde: qui deducis, velut ovem, Joseph. V. Glória Patri.
Léctio libri Génesis
Gen. 49, 22-26.
Fílius accréscens Joseph, fílius accréscens, et decórus aspéctu: fíliæ discurrérunt super murum. Sed exasperavérunt eum, et jurgáti sunt, inviderúntque illi habéntes jácula. Sedit in forti arcus ejus, et dissolúta sunt víncula brachiórum et mánuum illíus per manus poténtis Jacob: inde pastor egréssus est, lapis Israël. Deus patris tui erit adjútor tuus, et Omnípotens benedícet tibi benedictiónibus cœli désuper, benedictiónibus abýssi jacéntis deórsum, benedictiónibus úberum et vulvæ. Benedictiónes patris tui confortatae sunt benedictiónibus patrum ejus, donec veníret desidérium cóllium æternórum: fiant in cápite Joseph, et in vértice Nazarǽi inter fratres suos.
Allelúja. V. Fac nos innócuam, Joseph, decúrrere vitam: sitque tuo semper tuta patrocínio. Allelúja.
Luc. 3, 21-23.
In illo témpore: Factum est autem, cum baptizarétur omnis pópulus, et Jesu baptizáto et oránte, apértum est cœlum: et descéndit Spíritus Sanctus corporáli spécie sicut colúmba in ipsum: et vox de cœlo facta est: Tu es Fílius meus diléctus, in te complácui mihi. Et ipse Jesus erat incípiens quasi annórum trigínta, ut putabátur, fílius Joseph.
Offertorium. Ps. 147, 12 et 13. 1:07:40. Lauda, Jerúsalem, Dóminum: quóniam confortávit seras portárum tuárum, benedíxit fíliis tuis in te, allelúja, allelúja.
Postcommunio. Divíni múneris fonte refécti, quǽsumus, Dómine, Deus noster: ut, sicut nos facis beáti Joseph protectióne gaudére; ita, ejus méritis et intercessióne, cœléstis glóriæ fácias esse partícipes. Per Dóminum.
Oratio. Deus, qui nos ánnua Apostolórum tuórum Philíppi et Jacóbi sollemnitáte lætíficas: præsta, quǽsumus: ut, quorum gaudémus méritis, instruámur exémplis. Per Dóminum.
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ.
Sap. 5, 1-5.
Stabunt justi in magna constántia advérsus eos, qui se angustiavérunt et qui abstulérunt labóres eórum. Vidéntes turbabúntur timore horríbili, et mirabúntur in subitatióne insperátæ salútis, dicéntes intra se, pœniténtiam agéntes, et præ angústia spíritus geméntes: Hi sunt, quos habúimus aliquándo in derísum et in similitúdinem impropérii. Nos insensáti vitam illórum æstimabámus insániam, et finem illórum sine honóre: ecce, quómodo computáti sunt inter fílios Dei, et inter Sanctos sors illórum est.
Allelúja, allelúja. V. Ps. 88, 6. Confitebúntur cœli mirabília tua, Dómine: etenim veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum.
Allelúja. V. Joann. 14, 9. Tanto témpore vobíscum sum, et non cognovístis me? Philíppe, qui videt me, videt et Patrem meum. Allelúja.

Joann. 14. 1-13.
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Non turbátur cor vestrum. Creditis in Deum, et in me crédite. In domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt. Si quo minus, dixíssem vobis: Quia vado paráre vobis locum. Et si abíero et præparávero vobis locum: íterum vénio et accípiam vos ad meípsum, ut, ubi sum ego, et vos sitis. Et quo ego vado, scitis, et viam scitis. Dicit ei Thomas: Dómine, nescímus, quo vadis: et quómodo póssumus viam scire? Dicit ei Jesus: Ego sum via et véritas et vita; nemo venit ad Patrem nisi per me. Si cognovissétis me, et Patrem meum útique cognovissétis: et ámodo cognoscátis eum, et vidístis eum. Dicit ei Philíppus: Dómine, osténde nobis Patrem, et sufficit nobis. Dicit ei Jesus: Tanto témpore vobíscum sum, et non cognovístis me? Philíppe, qui videt me, videt et Patrem. Quómodo tu dicis: Osténde nobis Patrem? Non créditis, quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est? Verba, quæ ego loquor vobis, a meípso non loquor. Pater autem in me manens, ipse facit ópera. Non créditis, quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est? Alióquin propter ópera ipsa crédite. Amen, amen, dico vobis, qui credit in me, ópera, quæ ego facio, et ipse fáciet, et majóra horum fáciet: quia ego ad Patrem vado. Et quodcúmque petiéritis Patrem in nómine meo, hoc fáciam.
Offertorium. Ps. 88, 6. Confitebúntur cœli mirabília tua, Dómine: et veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum, allelúja, allelúja.
Secreta. Múnera, Dómine, quæ pro Apostolórum tuórum Philippi et Jacóbi sollemnitáte deférimus, propítius súscipe: et mala ómnia, quæ merémur, avérte. Per Dóminum.
Communio. Joann. 14, 9 et 10. Tanto témpore vobíscum sum, et non cognovístis me? Philíppe, qui videt me, videt et Patrem meum, allelúja: non credis, quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est? Allelúja, allelúja.
Postcommunio. Quǽsumus, Dómine, salutáribus repléti mystériis: ut, quorum sollémnia celebrámus, eórum oratiónibus adjuvémur. Per Dóminum.
