First reading: Wisdom 1:1-7

Douay-Rheims: Wisdom 1:1-7

¹Love justice, you that are the judges of the earth. Think of the Lord in goodness, and seek him in simplicity of heart. ²For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he sheweth himself to them that have faith in him. ³For perverse thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise: ⁴For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins. ⁵For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in. ⁶For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not acquit the evil speaker from his lips: for God is witness of his reins, and he is a true searcher of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. ⁷For the spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world: and that, which containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 139:1b-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-10

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 138:1-10 (Psalm 139 at Mass)

¹Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: ²Thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up. ³Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out. ⁴And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue. ⁵Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me. ⁶Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it. ⁷Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face? ⁸If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present. ⁹If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: ¹⁰Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.

Gospel: Luke 17:1-6

Douay-Rheims: Luke 17:1-6

¹And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but woe to him through whom they come. ²It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones. ³Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him. ⁴And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying, I repent; forgive him. ⁵And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith. ⁶And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you.

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.
