Douay-Rheims: Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40

³²Ask of the days of old, that have been before thy time from the day that God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to the other end thereof, if ever there was done the like thing, or it hath been known at any time, ³³That a people should hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire, as thou hast heard, and lived: ³⁴If God ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes.

³⁹Know therefore this day, and think in thy heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath, and there is no other. ⁴⁰Keep his precepts and commandments, which I command thee: that it may be well with thee, and thy children after thee, and thou mayst remain a long time upon the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 32:4-6, 9, 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. ⁶By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:

⁹For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.

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: Romans 8:14-17

¹⁴For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ¹⁵For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father). ¹⁶For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God. ¹⁷And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 28:16-20

¹⁶And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. ¹⁷And seeing him they adored: but some doubted. ¹⁸And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. ¹⁹Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. ²⁰Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
