any idea where can i find the proper readings and prayers for Joseph, Patriarch (March 31)?
Dear Broken Beaker,
Sorry for the delay in responding.
I'm afraid there aren't any propers, per se, for the commemoration of the Patriarch Joseph. What I might suggest for the observance of this day, if you were so inclined, is to read from the Joseph narrative in Genesis: perhaps when he is sold by his brothers into slavery, and then, having served Potiphar faithfully, is thrown into prison on the trumped of charges of Potiphar's lusty wife; and then, the beautiful scene in which Joseph forgives his brothers (again) following the death of their father Jacob.
In addition, the New Testament Gospel narrative of the "other Joseph" would fit this day, in particular when he takes the Child with His Mother and flees into Egypt, and then return from Egypt to Nazareth, all at the Word of the Lord.
One hymn possibillity that first comes to mind, which might serve well for this day, is "The God of Abraham Praise." Or perhaps, "I Walk in Danger All the Way." That would be a good one. Or many of the hymns in the Trust and Hope sections of the LSB: "From God Can Nothing Move Me." "Who Trusts in God a Strong Abode." "If God Himself Be for Me." "Rejoice, My Heart, Be Glad and Sing." "In God, My Faithful God." "If Thou But Trust in God to Guide Thee." "Entrust Your Days and Burdens." "Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me." "The Will of God Is Always Best." "What God Ordains Is Always Good." Any of those would work well for Joseph.
