PM: Introit Mondays--12th. Sunday Of Ordinary Time

The Lord is the strength of his people, and the guardian of salvation for his Anointed. Save your people, O Lord, and bless your inheritance; be their guide forever.

V. Unto you, O Lord, will I cry; O my God, be not silent with me; if you remain silent, I will become like those who go down into the grave.

Ps. 27:8, 9; V. 1

We are powerless without God. We need His presence or we become nothing.
