Douay-Rheims: Psalm 144:2-11 (Psalm 145 at Mass)

²Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. ³Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end. ⁴Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power. ⁵They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works. ⁶And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness. ⁷They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice. ⁸The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy. ⁹The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. ¹⁰Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee. ¹¹They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

Second reading: 1 Corinthians 1:3-9

Douay-Rheims: 1 Corinthians 1:3-9

³Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; ⁶As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, ⁷So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Gospel: Luke 17:11-19

Douay-Rheims: Luke 17:11-19

¹¹And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. ¹²And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off; ¹³And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us. ¹⁴Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean. ¹⁵And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. ¹⁶And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan. ¹⁷And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine? ¹⁸There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger. ¹⁹And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.

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.
