Douay-Rheims: Jeremias 31:31-34

³¹Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda: ³²Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt: the covenant which they made void, and I had dominion over them, saith the Lord. ³³But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my law in their bowels, and I will write it in their heart: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ³⁴And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the least of them even to the greatest, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 50:3-4, 12-15 (Psalm 51 at Mass)

³Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity. ⁴Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

¹²Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels. ¹³Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me. ¹⁴Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. ¹⁵I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.

Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 5:7-9

⁷Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence. ⁸And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered: ⁹And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.

Douay-Rheims: John 12:20-33

²⁰Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day. ²¹These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus. ²²Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus. ²³But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. ²⁴Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, ²⁵Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal. ²⁶If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour. ²⁷Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour. ²⁸Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. ²⁹The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him. ³⁰Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. ³¹Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. ³²And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself. ³³(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)
