JESUS, TRUE LIGHT,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

It's Monday and as I've said before, Mondays are Mondays, no matter where you are. Just what is it about Mondays? No matter your answer, it seems that Mondays are a good day to join the blind man in today's Gospel and shout to Jesus who is always passing by: "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!" And when Jesus responds by asking, What do you want me to do for you?, tell Him. May our faith save us. 

Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
It just turns out that way.
(From the Mamas and the Papas, Monday, Monday, 1966)

SAINT ALBERT THE GREAT,
ALL CARMELITE SOULS,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
