Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of S. Brigid of Kildare, begs the intercession of S. John the Baptist on behalf of listener Sheila, who asks that her grandchildren be baptized in the Holy Catholic Church by those rites best known and loved by her and our forebears.

Today's reflection is on those who have been given the special grace of God's favour by being taken up by Him body and soul, both Our Lady, Assumed into Heaven, as well as Henoch and Elias, caught up into Paradise until the dread time of Judgement when they shall return to complete their work.
