Douay-Rheims: Acts 11:21-26; 13:1-3

^11:21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord. ²²And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch. ²³Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord. ²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord. ²⁵And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch. ²⁶And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.

^13:1Now there were in the church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. ²And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them. ³Then they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 97:1-6 (Psalm 98 at Mass)

¹Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy. ²The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles. ³He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. ⁴Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing. ⁵Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm: ⁶With long trumpets, and sound of cornet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 5:27-32

²⁷You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. ²⁸But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. ³⁰And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. ³¹And it hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. ³²But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
