Douay-Rheims: Exodus 40:14-19, 32-36

¹⁴And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded. ¹⁵So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up. ¹⁶And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars, ¹⁷And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded. ¹⁸And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above. ¹⁹And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.

³²The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it. ³³Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the cloud had covered all. ³⁴If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops: ³⁵If it hung over, they remained in the same place. ³⁶For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 83:3-6, 8, 11 (Psalm 84 at Mass)

³My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God. ⁴For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God. ⁵Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever. ⁶Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,

⁸For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

¹¹For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

Douay-Rheims: John 11:19-27

¹⁹And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home. ²¹Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ²²But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. ²³Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again. ²⁴Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day. ²⁵Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: ²⁶And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? ²⁷She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
