Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 12:18-19, 21-24

¹⁸For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched, and a burning fire, and a whirlwind, and darkness, and storm, ¹⁹And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard excused themselves, that the word might not be spoken to them:

²¹And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble. ²²But you are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of angels, ²³And to the church of the firstborn, who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, ²⁴And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 47:2-4, 9-11 (Psalm 48 at Mass)

²Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain. ³With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king. ⁴In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.

⁹As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever. ¹⁰We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple. ¹¹According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 6:7-13

⁷And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. ⁸And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only: no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse, ⁹But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats. ¹⁰And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place. ¹¹And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them. ¹²And going forth they preached that men should do penance: ¹³And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
