Project BLACK MAMBA: 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time

'Tis the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Wikipedia-link.

Otherwise, 19 June would be the feast of Saint Romuald, Abbot, O.S.B. (circa 951-1027), founder of the Camaldolese tradition, originally a reform of the Benedictines: Saint-link ūnus, Saint-link duo, & Wikipedia-link; Wikipedia-link Sacro Eremo.

Even though 7 June would be an altogether superior date, we would also commemorate Venerable Matt Talbot, O.F.S. (1856-1925): Venerable-link ūnus, Venerable-link duo, & Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: I know of the Venerable Mr. Talbot from that slim but eminently useful volume, Saints Behaving Badly by Thomas J. Craughwell.
