Douay-Rheims: 2 Timothy 1:1-8

¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus. ²To Timothy my dearly beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord. ³I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that without ceasing, I have a remembrance of thee in my prayers, night and day. ⁴Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy, ⁵Calling to mind that faith which is in thee unfeigned, which also dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am certain that in thee also. ⁶For which cause I admonish thee, that thou stir up the grace of God which is in thee, by the imposition of my hands. ⁷For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety. ⁸Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but labour with the gospel, according to the power of God,

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 95:1-3, 7-8, 10 (Psalm 96 at Mass)

¹Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth. ²Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day. ³Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

⁷Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour: ⁸Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

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.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 3:31-35

³¹And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him. ³²And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. ³³And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren? ³⁴And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren. ³⁵For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
