Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Peter Alcantara, offers prayers for South Africans, who have been deprived of electricity by a major substation failure, leaving thousands without working security systems at their homes and therefore at the mercy of the murderous gangs that form part of every day life in South African cities. We beg the intercession of the Blessed Mother and her special protection over the oppressed minority of South Africa, especially the Catholic minority. Today's reflection is on the descent of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost and the way God fulfilled His Promise, which He made when He created us, by descending upon His Church.
