St. Jude Melkite Catholic Church issued the following announcement on July 5

Brethren, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God in their behalf is for salvation. For I bear witness to them that they have zeal for God, but a zeal that is not informed. For ignorant of God’s holiness and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to the sanctification offered by God. For Christ is the consummation of the Law in terms of justification for everyone who believes. For Moses has written that the man who brings about that justification which is of the Law shall live by it. (Lv.18: 5) But the justification which is of faith says, do not ask in your heart, who shall go up to heaven that is, -- to bring down Christ. Or, who will descend into the abyss (Dt.30: 12) that is, to bring up Christ from the dead? But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. (Dt.30: 14) that is, the word of faith which we preach. For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For a man believes with the heart and attains justification, but he professes his faith with his mouth and attains salvation.

ALLELUIA (Tone 4) Ps.44: 5, 8

-String your bow, go forth, reign for the sake of truth, meekness and righteousness, and your right hand shall lead you wonderfully. 

-You loved righteousness and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, anointed you with the oil of joy above your companions.
