Douay-Rheims: Psalm 78:8-9, 11, 13 (Psalm 79 at Mass)

⁸Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor. ⁹Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:

¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee. According to the greatness of thy arm, take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.

¹³But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks to thee for ever. We will shew forth thy praise, unto generation and generation.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 10:32-45

³²And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them, and they were astonished; and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him. ³³Saying: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes and ancients, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles. ³⁴And they shall mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. ³⁵And James and John the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us: ³⁶But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you? ³⁷And they said: Grant to us, that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. ³⁸And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of: or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized? ³⁹But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of: and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized, you shall be baptized. ⁴⁰But to sit on my right hand, or on my left, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared. ⁴¹And the ten hearing it, began to be much displeased at James and John. ⁴²But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles, lord it over them: and their princes have power over them. ⁴³But it is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater, shall be your minister. ⁴⁴And whosoever will be first among you, shall be the servant of all. ⁴⁵For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
