Douay–Rheims American Bible

The Douay-Rheims American Bible, Also Called DRA Bible

The Douay–Rheims Bible (also known as the Rheims–Douai Bible or Douai Bible, and abbreviated as D–R and DRB) is a translation of the Bible from the Latin Vulgate into English made by members of the English College, Douai, in the service of the Catholic Church. The New Testament portion was published in Reims, France, in 1582, in one volume with extensive commentary and notes. The Old Testament portion was published in two volumes twenty-seven years later in 1609 and 1610 by the University of Douai. The first volume, covering Genesis through Job, was published in 1609; the second, covering Psalms to 2 Machabees plus the apocrypha of the Vulgate was published in 1610.

The Challoner version, officially approved by the Church, remained the Bible of the majority of English-speaking Catholics well into the 20th century. It was first published in America in 1790 by Mathew Carey of Philadelphia. Several American editions followed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, prominent among them an edition Published in 1899 by the John Murphy Company of Baltimore, which was approved by james Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore.

Remember, in the moments of greatest darkness, Close your eyes, calm down, take a deep breath and let the light of the word guide your steps and your life and everything will happen.
