LocalDateTime thisWeeksMonday = LocalDateTime.now().with(DayOfWeek.MONDAY);

just in case that Java 8 is an option.

As stated in "Get date of first day of week based on LocalDate.now() in Java 8" your usage may differ.

Regarding Java <8 you need to set setFirstDayOfWeek as Jack mentioned. Just be sure that you set it before you alter your day of week, e.g.:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.MONDAY);
System.out.println("Date " + c.getTime());

You can tell the Calendar class what day of the week should be considered as the first one. Try adding the following line:

c.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
