First reading: Titus 2:1-8, 11-14

Douay-Rheims: Titus 2:1-8, 11-14

¹But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine: ²That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience. ³The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well: ⁴That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. ⁶Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober. ⁷In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity, ⁸The sound word that can not be blamed: that he, who is on the contrary part, may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.

¹¹For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men; ¹²Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly in this world, ¹³Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, ¹⁴Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 37:3-4, 18 and 23, 27 and 29

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 36:3-4, 18, 23, 27, 29 (Psalm 37 at Mass)

³Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches. ⁴Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.

¹⁸The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

²³With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.

²⁷Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.

²⁹But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.

Gospel: Luke 17:7-10

Douay-Rheims: Luke 17:7-10

⁷But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat: ⁸And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink? ⁹Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him? ¹⁰I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.

The same passages in the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision), the translation we use on this site. The words read at Mass come from the Lectionary for Mass and differ. Where a reading begins or ends partway through a verse, the whole verse is shown. For the official text, open the readings on the USCCB site.
