Douay-Rheims: 1 Timothy 4:12-16

¹²Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity. ¹³Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine. ¹⁴Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. ¹⁵Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all. ¹⁶Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 110:7-10 (Psalm 111 at Mass)

⁷That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment. ⁸All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity. ⁹He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name: ¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

Douay-Rheims: Luke 7:36-50

³⁶And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat. ³⁷And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment; ³⁸And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. ³⁹And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner. ⁴⁰And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it. ⁴¹A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. ⁴²And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most? ⁴³Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly. ⁴⁴And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them. ⁴⁵Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. ⁴⁶My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet. ⁴⁷Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less. ⁴⁸And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee. ⁴⁹And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also? ⁵⁰And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.
