Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 6:10-20

¹⁰For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work, and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered, and do minister to the saints. ¹¹And we desire that every one of you shew forth the same carefulness to the accomplishing of hope unto the end: ¹²That you become not slothful, but followers of them, who through faith and patience shall inherit the promises. ¹³For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself, ¹⁴Saying: Unless blessing I shall bless thee, and multiplying I shall multiply thee. ¹⁵And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise. ¹⁶For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy. ¹⁷Wherein God, meaning more abundantly to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed an oath: ¹⁸That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us. ¹⁹Which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and which entereth in even within the veil; ²⁰Where the forerunner Jesus is entered for us, made a high priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 110:1-2, 4-5, 9-10 (Psalm 111 at Mass)

¹I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation. ²Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

⁴He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord: ⁵He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

⁹He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name: ¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 2:23-28

²³And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward, and to pluck the ears of corn. ²⁴And the Pharisees said to him: Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? ²⁵And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need, and was hungry himself, and they that were with him? ²⁶How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them who were with him? ²⁷And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. ²⁸Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
