First reading: 2 Corinthians 1:1-7

Douay-Rheims: 2 Corinthians 1:1-7

¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother: to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia: ²Grace unto you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. ⁴Who comforteth us in all our tribulation; that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God. ⁵For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound. ⁶Now whether we be in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation: or whether we be exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which worketh the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer. ⁷That our hope for you may be steadfast: knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 33:2-9 (Psalm 34 at Mass)

²I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth. ³In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice. ⁴O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together. ⁵I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles. ⁶Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded. ⁷This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles. ⁸The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them. ⁹O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 5:1-3, 5, 4, 6-12

¹And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. ²And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying: ³Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁵Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

⁴Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.

⁶Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. ⁷Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. ⁸Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. ⁹Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. ¹⁰Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: ¹²Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

The same passages in the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision), the translation we use on this site. The words read at Mass come from the Lectionary for Mass and differ. Where a reading begins or ends partway through a verse, the whole verse is shown. For the official text, open the readings on the USCCB site.
