Douay-Rheims: Acts 6:1-7

¹And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. ²Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. ³Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. ⁴But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. ⁵And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch. ⁶These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them. ⁷And the word of the Lord increased; and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly: a great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 32:1-2, 4-5, 18-19 (Psalm 33 at Mass)

¹Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright. ²Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

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.

Douay-Rheims: John 6:16-21

¹⁶And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea. ¹⁷And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them. ¹⁸And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew. ¹⁹When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid. ²⁰But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid. ²¹They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.
