First reading: Romans 8:12-17

Douay-Rheims: Romans 8:12-17

¹²Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. ¹³For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live. ¹⁴For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ¹⁵For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father). ¹⁶For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God. ¹⁷And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 68:2 and 4, 6-7ab, 20-21

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 67:2, 4, 6-7, 20-21 (Psalm 68 at Mass)

²Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.

⁴And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with gladness.

⁶Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place: ⁷God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.

²⁰Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us. ²¹Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.

Gospel: Luke 13:10-17

Douay-Rheims: Luke 13:10-17

¹⁰And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath. ¹¹And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all. ¹²Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity. ¹³And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. ¹⁴And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day. ¹⁵And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water? ¹⁶And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? ¹⁷And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.

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.
