Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. John Xrysostom, offers requiem prayers for the repose of the soul of Betty.

The Romans reveal their ignorance of God through their actions, just as all who worship God but do not live according to His Word and Law reveal an ignorance that mocks Christ's kingly title.
