Monday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time

May 12, 2008


Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. (James 1:2) The law of your mouth is to me more precious than thousands of gold and silver pieces. (Ps. 119:72) “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” (Mk. 8:12)
