Douay-Rheims: Acts 2:36-41

³⁶Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified. ³⁷Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren? ³⁸But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. ³⁹For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call. ⁴⁰And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation. ⁴¹They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 32:4-5, 18-20, 22 (Psalm 33 at Mass)

⁴For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness. ⁵He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

¹⁸Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy. ¹⁹To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine. ²⁰Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.

²²Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.

Douay-Rheims: John 20:11-18

¹¹But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, ¹²And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. ¹³They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord; and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing; and she knew not that it was Jesus. ¹⁵Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni (which is to say, Master). ¹⁷Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God. ¹⁸Mary Magdalen cometh, and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord, and these things he said to me.
