Douay-Rheims: Genesis 28:10-22

¹⁰But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran. ¹¹And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place. ¹²And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it; ¹³And the Lord leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac; the land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee and to thy seed. ¹⁴And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED. ¹⁵And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said. ¹⁶And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. ¹⁷And trembling he said: How terrible is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven. ¹⁸And Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone, which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it. ¹⁹And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza. ²⁰And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, ²¹And I shall return prosperously to my father’s house: the Lord shall be my God: ²²And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 90:1-4, 14-15 (Psalm 91 at Mass)

¹He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob. ²He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust. ³For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word. ⁴He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

¹⁴Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name. ¹⁵He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 9:18-26

¹⁸As he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. ¹⁹And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples. ²⁰And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. ²¹For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed. ²²But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. ²³And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout, ²⁴He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. ²⁵And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose. ²⁶And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.
