First reading: 1 Maccabees 4:36-37, 52-59

Douay-Rheims: 1 Machabees 4:36-37, 52-59

³⁶Then Judas, and his brethren said: Behold our enemies are discomfited: let us go up now to cleanse the holy places and to repair them. ³⁷And all the army assembled together, and they went up into mount Sion.

⁵²And they arose before the morning on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month (which is the month of Casleu) in the hundred and forty-eighth year. ⁵³And they offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of holocausts which they had made. ⁵⁴According to the time, and according to the day wherein the heathens had defiled it, in the same was it dedicated anew with canticles, and harps, and lutes, and cymbals. ⁵⁵And all the people fell upon their faces, and adored, and blessed up to heaven, him that had prospered them. ⁵⁶And they kept the dedication of the altar eight days, and they offered holocausts with joy, and sacrifices of salvation, and of praise. ⁵⁷And they adorned the front of the temple with crowns of gold, and escutcheons, and they renewed the gates, and the chambers, and hanged doors upon them. ⁵⁸And there was exceeding great joy among the people, and the reproach of the Gentiles was turned away. ⁵⁹And Judas, and his brethren, and all the church of Israel decreed, that the day of the dedication of the altar should be kept in its season from year to year for eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, with joy and gladness.

Responsorial Psalm: 1 Chronicles 29:10bcd, 11abc, 11d-12a, 12bcd

Douay-Rheims: 1 Paralipomenon 29:10-12

¹⁰And he blessed the Lord before all the multitude, and he said: Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of Israel, our father from eternity to eternity. ¹¹Thine, O Lord, is magnificence, and power, and glory, and victory: and to thee is praise: for all that is in heaven, and in earth, is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art above all princes. ¹²Thine are riches, and thine is glory, thou hast dominion over all, in thy hand is power and might: in thy hand greatness, and the empire of all things.

Gospel: Luke 19:45-48

Douay-Rheims: Luke 19:45-48

⁴⁵And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought. ⁴⁶Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves. ⁴⁷And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him: ⁴⁸And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

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.
