A faithful and wise servant, whom the Lord appointed over His family:
* Amen, I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all his goods.
V. He that is the guardian of his Lord, will be glorified.
Amen.
Glory be.
Amen. (
The twelfth responsory of Matins of the feast of St Joseph in the Benedictine Office.)
