Douay-Rheims: Ezechiel 34:11-12, 15-17

¹¹For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them. ¹²As the shepherd visiteth his flock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

¹⁵I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. ¹⁶I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve: and I will feed them in judgment. ¹⁷And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 22:1-3, 5-6 (Psalm 23 at Mass)

¹The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. ²He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: ³He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

⁵Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it! ⁶And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

Douay-Rheims: 1 Corinthians 15:20-26, 28

²⁰But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep: ²¹For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead. ²²And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. ²³But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming. ²⁴Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue. ²⁵For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet. ²⁶And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith,

²⁸And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 25:31-46

³¹And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. ³²And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: ³³And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. ³⁴Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ³⁵For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: ³⁶Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. ³⁷Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? ³⁸And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? ³⁹Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? ⁴⁰And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. ⁴¹Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴²For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. ⁴³I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me. ⁴⁴Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? ⁴⁵Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. ⁴⁶And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.
