Douay-Rheims: Osee 11:1, 3-4, 8-9

¹As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel passed away. Because Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt.

³And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them. ⁴I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat.

⁸How shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up. ⁹I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city.

Douay-Rheims: Isaias 12:2-6

²Behold, God is my saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: O because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation. ³You shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour’s fountains: ⁴And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make his works known among the people: remember that his name is high. ⁵Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: shew this forth in all the earth. ⁶Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of thee, the Holy One of Israel.

Douay-Rheims: Ephesians 3:8-12, 14-19

⁸To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things: ¹⁰That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church, ¹¹According to the eternal purpose, which he made, in Christ Jesus our Lord: ¹²In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

¹⁴For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named, ¹⁶That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man, ¹⁷That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that being rooted and founded in charity, ¹⁸You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth: ¹⁹To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

Douay-Rheims: John 19:31-37

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. ³⁵And he that saw it, hath given testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true; that you also may believe. ³⁶For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him. ³⁷And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.
