First reading: Hebrews 13:15-17, 20-21
Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 13:15-17, 20-21
15By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name. 16And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God’s favour is obtained. 17Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
20And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament, 21Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6
Douay-Rheims: Psalm 22:1-6 (Psalm 23 at Mass)
1The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. 2He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: 3He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake. 4For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. 5Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it! 6And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
Gospel: Mark 6:30-34
Douay-Rheims: Mark 6:30-34
30And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught. 31And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat. 32And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart. 33And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities, and were there before them. 34And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
