Douay-Rheims: 2 Corinthians 11:1-11

¹Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me. ²For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. ³But I fear lest, as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted, and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ. ⁴For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel which you have not received; you might well bear with him. ⁵For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles. ⁶For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but in all things we have been made manifest to you. ⁷Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself, that you might be exalted? Because I preached unto you the gospel of God freely? ⁸I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry. ⁹And, when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia; and in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you, and so I will keep myself. ¹⁰The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia. ¹¹Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 110:1-4, 7-8 (Psalm 111 at Mass)

¹I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation. ²Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills. ³His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever. ⁴He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

⁷That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment. ⁸All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 6:7-15

⁷And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard. ⁸Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him. ⁹Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. ¹⁰Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. ¹¹Give us this day our supersubstantial bread. ¹²And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. ¹³And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen. ¹⁴For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences. ¹⁵But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.
