Douay-Rheims: Exodus 24:3-8

³So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken. ⁴And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord: and rising in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel. ⁵And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord. ⁶Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the rest he poured upon the altar. ⁷And taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken we will do, we will be obedient. ⁸And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said: This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 115:3-4, 6-9 (Psalm 116 at Mass)

³What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me? ⁴I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

⁶Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. ⁷O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds: ⁸I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. ⁹I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 9:11-15

¹¹But Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation: ¹²Neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. ¹³For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh: ¹⁴How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God? ¹⁵And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 14:12-16, 22-26

¹²Now on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the pasch, the disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that we go, and prepare for thee to eat the pasch? ¹³And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith to them: Go ye into the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water, follow him; ¹⁴And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house, The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples? ¹⁵And he will shew you a large dining room furnished; and there prepare ye for us. ¹⁶And his disciples went their way, and came into the city; and they found as he had told them, and they prepared the pasch.

²²And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body. ²³And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it. ²⁴And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many. ²⁵Amen I say to you, that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God. ²⁶And when they had said an hymn, they went forth to the mount of Olives.
