Read today's Mass readings on the USCCB site

First reading: 2 John 4-9

Douay-Rheims: 2 John 1:4-9

⁴I was exceeding glad, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. ⁵And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶And this is charity, that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same: ⁷For many seducers are gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a seducer and an antichrist. ⁸Look to yourselves, that you lose not the things which you have wrought: but that you may receive a full reward. ⁹Whosoever revolteth, and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:1, 2, 10, 11, 17, 18

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 118:1-2, 10-11, 17-18 (Psalm 119 at Mass)

¹Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. ²Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.

¹⁰With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments. ¹¹Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.

¹⁷Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words. ¹⁸Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.

Gospel: Luke 17:26-37

Douay-Rheims: Luke 17:26-37

²⁶And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all. ²⁸Likewise as it came to pass, in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built. ²⁹And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. ³⁰Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed. ³¹In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back. ³²Remember Lot’s wife. ³³Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it, shall preserve it. ³⁴I say to you: in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. ³⁵Two women shall be grinding together. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left. Two men shall be in the field. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left. ³⁶They answering, say to him: Where, Lord? ³⁷Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.

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.
