June 1, 2004. Memorial of St. Justin, martyr.

A reading from the letter of Jude.

Beloved, remember the word spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Build yourselves up in your most holy faith.

Pray in the Holy Spirit.

Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life on those who waver have

mercy save others by snatching them out of the fire. On others have mercy with fear,

abhorring even the outer garment stained by the flesh.

To the one who is able to keep you from stumbling

and to present you unblemished and exultant

in the presence of his glory,

to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Lord,

be glory, majesty, power, and authority from ages past, now, and for ages to come.

Amen.

The Word of the Lord.

The responseorial Psalm, the response is, My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord, my God.

O God, you are my God whom I seek, for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the

earth, parched, lifeless, and without water.

My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord, my God.

Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary

to see your power and your glory,

for your kindness is a greater good than life.
