Douay-Rheims: Genesis 32:22-32

²²And rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc. ²³And when all things were brought over that belonged to him, ²⁴He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning. ²⁵And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank. ²⁶And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me. ²⁷And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob. ²⁸But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men? ²⁹Jacob asked him, Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place. ³⁰And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved. ³¹And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot. ³²Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob’s thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 16:1-3, 6-8, 15 (Psalm 17 at Mass)

¹Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips. ²Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable. ³Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.

⁶I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words. ⁷Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee. ⁸From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.

¹⁵But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 9:32-38

³²And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil. ³³And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel. ³⁴But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils. ³⁵And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity. ³⁶And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd. ³⁷Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. ³⁸Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
