Douay-Rheims: 3 Kings 17:10-16

¹⁰He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. ¹¹And when she was going to fetch it he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand. ¹²And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse: behold I am gathering two sticks that I may go in and dress it, for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. ¹³And Elias said to her: Fear not, but go, and do as thou hast said: but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me: and after make for thyself and thy son. ¹⁴For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruse of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth. ¹⁵She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day ¹⁶The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 145:7-10 (Psalm 146 at Mass)

⁷Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered: ⁸The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just. ⁹The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy. ¹⁰The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 9:24-28

²⁴For Jesus is not entered into the holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us. ²⁵Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies, every year with the blood of others: ²⁶For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world: but now once at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin, by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment: ²⁸So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many; the second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.

Douay-Rheims: Mark 12:38-44

³⁸And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and to be saluted in the marketplace, ³⁹And to sit in the first chairs, in the synagogues, and to have the highest places at suppers: ⁴⁰Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer: these shall receive greater judgment.

The shorter form begins at verse 41.

⁴¹And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much. ⁴²And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing. ⁴³And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury. ⁴⁴For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.
