First reading: Daniel 12:1-3

Douay-Rheims: Daniel 12:1-3

¹But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book. ²And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always. ³But they that are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 16:5, 8, 9-10, 11

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 15:5, 8-11 (Psalm 16 at Mass)

⁵The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

⁸I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved. ⁹Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope. ¹⁰Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption. ¹¹Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

Second reading: Hebrews 10:11-14, 18

Douay-Rheims: Hebrews 10:11-14, 18

¹¹And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering, and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. ¹²But this man offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God, ¹³From henceforth expecting, until his enemies be made his footstool. ¹⁴For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

¹⁸Now where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.

Gospel: Mark 13:24-32

Douay-Rheims: Mark 13:24-32

²⁴But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light. ²⁵And the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers that are in heaven, shall be moved. ²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory. ²⁷And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. ²⁸Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near. ²⁹So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors. ³⁰Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, until all these things be done. ³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away. ³²But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

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.
