Lead me, Lord, in your justice.You are no God who delights in evil;no sinner is your guest.The boastful shall not stand their groundbefore your eyes.All who do evil you despise;all who lie you destroy.The deceitful and those who shed blood,the Lord detests.All who take refuge in you shall be glad,and ever cry out their joy.You shelter them; in you, they rejoice,those who love your name.R/. Lead me, Lord, in your justice. Please stand for the Gospel.Alleluia, Alleluia.My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; and I know them, and they follow me.Alleluia.Gospel: Luke 6:6-11A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.It happened that, on a sabbath, when Jesus entered the synagogue and taught, a man was there whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him. But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” And he looked around on them all, and said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.The Gospel of the Lord. Communion Antiphon.Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God; my soul is thirsting for God, the living God.2
