Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 105:2-3, 36-37, 42-43

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 104:2-3, 36-37, 42-43 (Psalm 105 at Mass)

²Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works. ³Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

³⁶And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour. ³⁷And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.

⁴²Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham. ⁴³And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.

Gospel: Luke 18:1-8

Douay-Rheims: Luke 18:1-8

¹And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint, ²Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man. ³And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary. ⁴And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man, ⁵Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me. ⁶And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith. ⁷And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard? ⁸I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?

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.
