Douay-Rheims: Leviticus 23:1, 4-11, 15-16, 27, 34-37

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

⁴These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their seasons. ⁵The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is the phase of the Lord: ⁶And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread. ⁷The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein: ⁸But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein. ⁹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ¹⁰Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest: ¹¹Who shall lift up the sheaf before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.

¹⁵You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of the firstfruits, seven full weeks. ¹⁶Even unto the morrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days: and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.

²⁷Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement, it shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall afflict your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

³⁴Say to the children of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this same seventh month, shall be kept the feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord. ³⁵The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy: you shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. ³⁶The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord: for it is the day of assembly and congregation: you shall do no servile work therein. ³⁷These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most solemn and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord, holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day,

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 80:3-6, 10-11 (Psalm 81 at Mass)

³Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp. ⁴Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity. ⁵For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob. ⁶He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.

¹⁰There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god. ¹¹For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 13:54-58

⁵⁴And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? ⁵⁵Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude: ⁵⁶And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things? ⁵⁷And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. ⁵⁸And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
