Douay-Rheims: Genesis 46:1-7, 28-30

¹And Israel taking his journey, with all that he had, came to the well of the oath, and killing victims there to the God of his father Isaac, ²He heard him by a vision in the night calling him, and saying to him: Jacob, Jacob. And he answered him: Lo, here I am. ³God said to him: I am the most mighty God of thy father: fear not, go down into Egypt, for I will make a great nation of thee there. ⁴I will go down with thee thither, and will bring thee back again from thence: Joseph also shall put his hands upon thy eyes. ⁵And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath: and his sons took him up, with their children and wives in the wagons, which Pharao had sent to carry the old man, ⁶And all that he had in the land of Chanaan, and he came into Egypt with all his seed: ⁷His sons, and grandsons, daughters, and all his offspring together.

²⁸And he sent Juda before him to Joseph, to tell him; and that he should meet him in Gessen. ²⁹And when he was come thither, Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet his father, in the same place: and seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and embracing him wept. ³⁰And the father said to Joseph: Now shall I die with joy, because I have seen thy face, and leave thee alive.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 36:3-4, 18-19, 27-28, 39-40 (Psalm 37 at Mass)

³Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches. ⁴Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.

¹⁸The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever. ¹⁹They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:

²⁷Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever. ²⁸For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.

³⁹But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble. ⁴⁰And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 10:16-23

¹⁶Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. ¹⁷But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. ¹⁸And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles: ¹⁹But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak. ²⁰For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. ²¹The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death. ²²And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved. ²³And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.
