Douay-Rheims: Acts 2:14, 22-33

¹⁴But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.

²²Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know: ²³This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain. ²⁴Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it. ²⁵For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved. ²⁶For this my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope. ²⁷Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. ²⁸Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. ²⁹Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day. ³⁰Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne. ³¹Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption. ³²This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses. ³³Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 15:1-2, 5, 7-11 (Psalm 16 at Mass)

¹Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. ²I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

⁵The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

⁷I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night. ⁸I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved. ⁹Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope. ¹⁰Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption. ¹¹Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 28:8-15

⁸And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples. ⁹And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him. ¹⁰Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me. ¹¹Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done. ¹²And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers, ¹³Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep. ¹⁴And if the governor shall hear this, we will persuade him, and secure you. ¹⁵So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.
