Read today's Mass readings on the USCCB site

The readings open on the USCCB website. They follow the Lectionary for Mass approved for the United States, a different translation from the Douay-Rheims we use on this site. Desert Road Catholic is not affiliated with the USCCB.

First reading: 3 John 5-8

Douay-Rheims: 3 John 1:5-8

⁵Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers, ⁶Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church: whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God. ⁷Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles. ⁸We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 112:1-2, 3-4, 5-6

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 111:1-6 (Psalm 112 at Mass)

¹Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments. ²His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed. ³Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever. ⁴To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just. ⁵Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment: ⁶Because he shall not be moved for ever.

Gospel: Luke 18:1-8

Douay-Rheims: Luke 18:1-8

¹And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint, ²Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man. ³And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary. ⁴And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man, ⁵Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me. ⁶And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith. ⁷And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard? ⁸I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?

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.
