Today's Daily Decade, for the Vigil of the Nativity of St. John Baptist, is on obedience, and how the great saints of the Church always sought out authority to obey and to whom to subject themselves, finding humility wherever possible and returning all authority and command they themselves were given back to God as a personal oblation. Today's prayer intention is for Davide, who is getting ready for final exams, and today's intercession is asked of Ss. Aloysius Gonzaga and Thomas Aquinas.
