First reading: Job 38:1, 8-11

Douay-Rheims: Job 38:1, 8-11

1Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said:

8Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb: 9When I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in a mist as in swaddling bands? 10I set my bounds around it, and made it bars and doors: 11And I said: Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt go no further, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 107:23-24, 25-26, 28-29, 30-31

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 106:23-26, 28-31 (Psalm 107 at Mass)

23They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters: 24These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 25He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up. 26They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.

28And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses. 29And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still. 30And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for. 31Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

Second reading: 2 Corinthians 5:14-17

Douay-Rheims: 2 Corinthians 5:14-17

14For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead. 15And Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again. 16Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh; but now we know him so no longer. 17If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.

Gospel: Mark 4:35-41

Douay-Rheims: Mark 4:35-40

35And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side. 36And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him. 37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled. 38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish? 39And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm. 40And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?

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.
