Douay-Rheims: Romans 3:21-30

²¹But now without the law the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets. ²²Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction: ²³For all have sinned, and do need the glory of God. ²⁴Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins, ²⁶Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time; that he himself may be just, and the justifier of him, who is of the faith of Jesus Christ. ²⁷Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. ²⁸For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law. ²⁹Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also. ³⁰For it is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 129:1-6 (Psalm 130 at Mass)

¹Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: ²Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. ³If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it. ⁴For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word: ⁵My soul hath hoped in the Lord. ⁶From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

Douay-Rheims: Luke 11:47-54

⁴⁷Woe to you who build the monuments of the prophets: and your fathers killed them. ⁴⁸Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchres. ⁴⁹For this cause also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute. ⁵⁰That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, ⁵¹From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea I say to you: It shall be required of this generation. ⁵²Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered in, and those that were entering in, you have hindered. ⁵³And as he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the lawyers began violently to urge him, and to oppress his mouth about many things, ⁵⁴Lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
