Douay-Rheims: Jeremias 23:1-6

¹Woe to the pastors, that destroy and tear the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord. ²Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the pastors that feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold I will visit upon you for the evil of your doings, saith the Lord. ³And I will gather together the remnant of my flock, out of all the lands into which I have cast them out: and I will make them return to their own fields, and they shall increase and be multiplied. ⁴And I will set up pastors over them, and they shall feed them: they shall fear no more, and they shall not be dismayed: and none shall be wanting of their number, saith the Lord. ⁵Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will raise up to David a just branch: and a king shall reign, and shall be wise: and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. ⁶In those days shall Juda be saved, and Israel shall dwell confidently: and this is the name that they shall call him: the Lord our just one.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 22:1-6 (Psalm 23 at Mass)

¹The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. ²He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: ³He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake. ⁴For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. ⁵Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it! ⁶And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

Douay-Rheims: Ephesians 2:13-18

¹³But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh: ¹⁵Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace; ¹⁶And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself. ¹⁷And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that were nigh. ¹⁸For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 6:30-34

³⁰And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught. ³¹And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat. ³²And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart. ³³And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities, and were there before them. ³⁴And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
