It’s making the rounds again– although in a more mild form than the last time.
Yes, it exists; here’s the 9/11 memorial page that mentions it.
Here’s a video about it:
The specific passages are Matthew 5:30-44.
The USCCB translation:

Teaching About Divorce.
31* “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce.’t
32But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.uTeaching About Oaths.
33*v “Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow.’
34w But I say to you, do not swear at all;* not by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
35nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
37* Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one.Teaching About Retaliation.
38* “You have heard that it was said,x ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
39y But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on [your] right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.

41Should anyone press you into service for one mile,*Â go with him for two miles.z
42Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.aLove of Enemies.*

Isaiah 55:10-11
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and return not thither but water the earth,

giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

The living Word is indeed alive.
Always making a way where their only seems to be a dead end.
-Douay​ Rheims Bible Ps. 92:5
“O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.”

32But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
