May 30th, 2006, Saturday of the eighth week in ordinary time.

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 Responsorial Psalm, the response is, The Word of the Lord.

The responsorial 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.
