First reading: Hebrews 1:1-6
Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 1:1-6
1God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all, 2In these days hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world. 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high. 4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they. 5For to which of the angels hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 97:1 and 2b, 6 and 7c, 9
Douay-Rheims: Psalm 96:1-2, 6-7, 9 (Psalm 97 at Mass)
1The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad. 2Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
6The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory. 7Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
9For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
Gospel: Mark 1:14-20
Douay-Rheims: Mark 1:14-20
14And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel. 16And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishermen). 17And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him. 19And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship: 20And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.
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.
