Project BLACK MAMBA

Today is the optional memorial of Saint Camillus de Lellis, Priest, M.I. (1550-1614), founder of the Camillians, formally the Clerks Regular, Ministers to the Sick: Saint-link ūnus, Saint-link duo, & Wikipedia-link; Wikipedia-link M.I..

Commentary: Quoth the bulletin:
De Lellis established the Order of Clerks Regular, Ministers to the Sick (abbreviated M.I.), better known as the Camillians. His experience in wars led him to establish a group of health care workers who would assist soldiers on the battlefield. The large, red cross on their cassock remains a symbol of the Congregation today. Patronage: sick, hospitals, nurses, & physicians.
Scripture of the Day
Personal Reading
The First Letter to the Corinthians, chapter six.

Mass Readings
The Book of Exodus, chapter twelve, verses thirty-seven thru forty-two;
Psalm One Hundred Thirty-six, verses one, twenty-three & twenty-four, ten thru fifteen;
The Gospel according to Matthew, chapter twelve, verses fourteen thru twenty-one.

Commentary: For those who have been fortunate enough not to have seen the motion picture Exodus: Gods and Kings, the film is utter dreck. I write that not as a Christian, but as a moviegoer. Gods and Kings's biggest sins are being overly long & dull as dishwater.
