Monday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Year of Saint Joseph

Year of the Family "Amoris Laetitia The Joy of Love"

Saints: Saint John Plessington (c.1637-1679) 

Readings of the Day

Let us sing to the Lord; He has covered Himself in glory.

HEART OF JESUS, SACRED TEMPLE OF GOD,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

A line from our reading from the Book of Exodus stands out, something Moses tells the frightened people: "Fear not! ... the Lord Himself with fight for you; you have only to keep still" (Ex 14:13-14). On this Monday as we face and welcome with a calm and joyful spirit whatever comes our way, may we take those words to heart and remember too the words of the psalmist: Be still and know that I am God (Ps 46:11).

I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of God.
(Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, 1647-1690)

SAINT JOHN PLESSINGTON,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
