Ordo notes for the feast of St Athanasius (2 May)

As this is a third class feast, the invitatory antiphon, hymn and chapter verse are of the feast, in this case from the Common of a Confessor Bishop.  There is one reading of the feast, which you can find on my Saints Will Arise blog.

The psalms and antiphons are of the day of the week.

You can find the proper texts on Divinum Officium by selecting 1960 new calendar (and ignoring the first two readings), and using these in combination with the monastic office of the day.

The chants for the invitatory and hymn can be found in the Liber Responsorialis (pg 190); the responsory for the one reading is number 10 in the common.

Ordo notes for the feast of St Joseph the Worker

Divinum Officium does not provide the monastic version of this feast, but the Roman version of the Office provides the Invitatory antiphon, hymn and antiphons; combine those with the psalms from the Common of a Confessor not a bishop (Liber Responsorialis pg 190).

As this is a (relatively) new feast, most of the chants are not included in the Liber Responsorialis.

The invitatory antiphon and hymn, though, are in the Liber Hymnarius, and virtually all of the necessary chants are however included in an appendix to the Nocturnale Romanum.  Most of the missing responsories come from the Benedictine version of the Feast of St Joseph, Spouse of the BVM and are included in the Liber Responsorialis.

You can find translations of the readings and responsories for this feast over at my Lectio Divina blog.
