First reading: Romans 5:12, 15b, 17-19, 20b-21

Douay-Rheims: Romans 5:12, 15, 17-21

¹²Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.

¹⁵But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died; much more the grace of God, and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

¹⁷For if by one man’s offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift, and of justice, shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life. ¹⁹For as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners; so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just. ²⁰Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound. ²¹That as sin hath reigned to death; so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 40:7-8a, 8b-9, 10, 17

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 39:7-10, 17 (Psalm 40 at Mass)

⁷Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: ⁸Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me ⁹That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart. ¹⁰I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.

¹⁷Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

Gospel: Luke 12:35-38

Douay-Rheims: Luke 12:35-38

³⁵Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands. ³⁶And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. ³⁷Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them. ³⁸And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

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.
