Year of Saint Joseph

Saint: Saint Lucy, Virgin, Martyr (4th century)
Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 59 The Offering of Sons by Nobles or the Poor
Mass: Nb 24:2-7, 15-17a; Resp Ps 25; Mt 21:23-27
Your ways, O Lord, make known to me.
HEART OF JESUS, BURNING FURNACE OF CHARITY,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
Welcome to another Monday, a rainy one here. As we commemorate Saint Lucy, we can turn to today's Responsorial Psalm throughout the day, especially when things get a little rough, which is not unusual on a Monday. We ask the Lord then for help: Teach me your ways, O Lord.
Here are some beautiful words too, from Saint Ambrose, bishop (d. 397), from the book On Virginity, the second reading in today's Office of Readings.
The Word of God moves swiftly; He is not won by the lukewarm, nor held fast by the negligent. Let your soul be attentive to His Word; follow carefully the path God tells you to take, for He is swift in His passing.
SAINT LUCY,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
Today's photo: This photo was sent some time ago from one of my nephews who was in Philadelphia on business. This LOVE sculpture is in Love Park, in the City of Brotherly Love. However, the original is at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It is the first sculptural form of Robert Indiana's LOVE painting, also in Indianapolis. My oldest sister and I saw both of them there. With a little research, I found that one can find LOVE sculptures all over the world, including Tokyo and New York City.
