Monday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Saint: Camillus de Lellis (1550-1614)*

Readings of the Day

Rule of Saint Benedict: Ch 39 The Proper Amount of Food

Mass: Micah 6:1-4, 6-8; Resp Ps 50; Mt 12:38-42

To the upright I will show the saving power of God.

MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.

Welcome to another Monday as the summer marches on. It is time to once again thank you, faithful readers, for being there. We remain united in faith and prayer. As another week commences, then, and if you are wondering what to do, turn to the Prophet Micah in today's first reading, who tells us: "You have been told, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). We go forth. 

Be an example for all believers in speech and conduct, in love, faith and purity.
-In this way you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
(Responsory, Office of Readings, Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time)

*NB. If your local church commemorated Saint Kateri Tekakwitha on July 14 instead of Saint Camillus de Lellis, the latter can be commemorated today. That is good news as we get another day to let his name roll off our tongues ... Camillus de Lellis, pray for us! 

Today's photo: This one was captured in the morning, at its best. Gather my faithful ones before me.
