Douay-Rheims: 4 Kings 4:42-44

⁴²And a certain man came from Baalsalisa, bringing to the man of God, bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat. ⁴³And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left. ⁴⁴So he set it before them: and they ate, and there was left according to the word of the Lord.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 144:10-11, 15-18 (Psalm 145 at Mass)

¹⁰Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee. ¹¹They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

¹⁵The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season. ¹⁶Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature. ¹⁷The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works. ¹⁸The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.

Douay-Rheims: Ephesians 4:1-6

¹I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called, ²With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity. ³Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling. ⁵One Lord, one faith, one baptism. ⁶One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.

Douay-Rheims: John 6:1-15

¹After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. ²And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. ³Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. ⁴Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand. ⁵When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do. ⁷Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little. ⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him: ⁹There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many? ¹⁰Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. ¹¹And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. ¹²And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. ¹³They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten. ¹⁴Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world. ¹⁵Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.
