Douay-Rheims: Acts 2:1-11

¹And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place: ²And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them: ⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak. ⁵Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. ⁶And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. ⁷And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans? ⁸And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born? ⁹Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, ¹¹Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 103:1, 24, 29-31, 34 (Psalm 104 at Mass)

¹Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:

²⁴How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.

²⁹But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust. ³⁰Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. ³¹May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

³⁴Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord.

Douay-Rheims: 1 Corinthians 12:3-7, 12-13

³Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. ⁴Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit; ⁵And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord; ⁶And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all. ⁷And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.

¹²For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ. ¹³For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.

Douay-Rheims: John 20:19-23

¹⁹Now when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you. ²⁰And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. ²¹He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you. ²²When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. ²³Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
