First reading: Romans 1:1-7

Douay-Rheims: Romans 1:1-7

¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, ²Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures, ³Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh, ⁴Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead; ⁵By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name; ⁶Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ: ⁷To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 98:1bcde, 2-3ab, 3cd-4

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 97:1-4 (Psalm 98 at Mass)

¹Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy. ²The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles. ³He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. ⁴Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.

Gospel: Luke 11:29-32

Douay-Rheims: Luke 11:29-32

²⁹And the multitudes running together, he began to say: This generation is a wicked generation: it asketh a sign, and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. ³⁰For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninivites; so shall the Son of man also be to this generation. ³¹The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold more than Solomon here. ³²The men of Ninive shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas; and behold more than Jonas here.

The same passages in the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision), the translation we use on this site. The words read at Mass come from the Lectionary for Mass and differ. Where a reading begins or ends partway through a verse, the whole verse is shown. For the official text, open the readings on the USCCB site.
