Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 12:4-7, 11-15

⁴For you have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin: ⁵And you have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh to you, as unto children, saying: My son, neglect not the discipline of the Lord; neither be thou wearied whilst thou art rebuked by him. ⁶For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth; and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. ⁷Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not correct?

¹¹Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by it, the most peaceable fruit of justice. ¹²Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, ¹³And make straight steps with your feet: that no one, halting, may go out of the way; but rather be healed. ¹⁴Follow peace with all men, and holiness: without which no man shall see God. ¹⁵Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be defiled.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 102:1-2, 13-14, 17-18 (Psalm 103 at Mass)

¹Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name. ²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.

¹³As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him: ¹⁴For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:

¹⁷But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children, ¹⁸To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 6:1-6

¹And going out from thence, he went into his own country; and his disciples followed him. ²And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands? ³Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him. ⁴And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred. ⁵And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them. ⁶And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching.
