First reading: Hebrews 3:7-14
Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 3:7-14
7Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall hear his voice, 8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert, 9Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works, 10Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways, 11As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest. 12Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God. 13But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 95:6-7c, 8-9, 10-11
Douay-Rheims: Psalm 94:6-11 (Psalm 95 at Mass)
6Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us. 7For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. 8Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: 9As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works. 10Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. 11And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
Gospel: Mark 1:40-45
Douay-Rheims: Mark 1:40-45
40And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41And Jesus having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean. 42And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away. 44And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 45But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places: and they flocked to him from all sides.
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.
