Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:53, 61, 134, 150, 155, 158

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 118:53, 61, 134, 150, 155, 158 (Psalm 119 at Mass)

⁵³A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

⁶¹The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.

¹³⁴Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments.

¹⁵⁰They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from thy law.

¹⁵⁵Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications.

¹⁵⁸I beheld the transgressors, and I pined away; because they kept not thy word.

Gospel: Luke 18:35-43

Douay-Rheims: Luke 18:35-43

³⁵Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging. ³⁶And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant. ³⁷And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. ³⁸And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. ³⁹And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me. ⁴⁰And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him, ⁴¹Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see. ⁴²And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole. ⁴³And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

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.
