Monday Madness -- March 31, 2025

Put on your rose-colored glasses for this week’s post Rose Sunday Monday Madness! The boys are back, bringing fresh segments that you won’t want to miss. They’re dubbing some of you Canons for your standout comments, diving into the biggest surprises from the Round of 32, giving their “way-too-early Golden Halo Winner” picks, and sharing a moment of madness when one of our saints truly inspired their faith. With only one week left of the Saintly Sixteen, it’s time to dive in with another Monday Madness! After you watch this, join Fr. Christian and Fr. Michael each morning this week as they break down the Daily Saintly Showdowns on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Lent might be halfway over, but this madness is just getting started!

Elizabeth of Hungary vs. Mechthild of Magdeburg

Happy Monday! The Saintly Sixteen continues as Elizabeth of Hungary takes on Mechtild of Magdeburg in a battle of 13th century saintly heavyweights.

Don't forget, if you'd like a quick refresher on their first round bios, click the Bracket Tab and scroll down to view all the previous matchups. It's just one more service we provide here at Lent Madness, although it's also important to remind everyone that you get what you pay for.

On Friday, Emily Cooper defeated Hiram Kano 58% to 42% to advance to the Elate Eight.

Keep your eyes peeled for this week's exciting episode of Monday Madness which will be released later today.
