First reading: Revelation 14:14-19

Douay-Rheims: Apocalypse 14:14-19

¹⁴And I saw, and behold a white cloud; and upon the cloud one sitting like to the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵And another angel came out from the temple crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle, and reap, because the hour is come to reap: for the harvest of the earth is ripe. ¹⁶And he that sat on the cloud thrust his sickle into the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. ¹⁸And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and he cried with a loud voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth; because the grapes thereof are ripe. ¹⁹And the angel thrust in his sharp sickle into the earth, and gathered the vineyard of the earth, and cast it into the great press of the wrath of God:

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 96:10, 11-12, 13

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 95:10-13 (Psalm 96 at Mass)

¹⁰Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice. ¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof: ¹²The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice ¹³Before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.

Gospel: Luke 21:5-11

Douay-Rheims: Luke 21:5-11

⁵And some saying of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said: ⁶These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down. ⁷And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass? ⁸Who said: Take heed you be not seduced; for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the time is at hand: go ye not therefore after them. ⁹And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently. ¹⁰Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. ¹¹And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.

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.
