Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 2:14-18

¹⁴Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner hath been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil: ¹⁵And might deliver them, who through the fear of death were all their lifetime subject to servitude. ¹⁶For no where doth he take hold of the angels: but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold. ¹⁷Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸For in that, wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to succour them also that are tempted.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 104:1-4, 6-9 (Psalm 105 at Mass)

¹Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles. ²Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works. ³Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. ⁴Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.

⁶O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen. ⁷He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. ⁸He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. ⁹Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:

Douay-Rheims: Mark 1:29-39

²⁹And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ³⁰And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her. ³¹And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. ³²And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils. ³³And all the city was gathered together at the door. ³⁴And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him. ³⁵And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed. ³⁶And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him. ³⁷And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee. ³⁸And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. ³⁹And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.
