Douay-Rheims: Genesis 3:9-15, 20

⁹And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou? ¹⁰And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself. ¹¹And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat? ¹²And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat. ¹³And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat. ¹⁴And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. ¹⁵I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

²⁰And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 86:1-3, 5-7 (Psalm 87 at Mass)

¹The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains: ²The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob. ³Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

⁵Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her. ⁶The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her. ⁷The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.

Douay-Rheims: John 19:25-34

²⁵Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. ²⁶When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. ²⁷After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. ²⁸Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst. ²⁹Now there was a vessel set there, full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop, put it to his mouth. ³⁰Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. ³¹Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. ³²The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him. ³³But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. ³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
