S6E8: The Birth of Christ at Pentecost

Today's Daily Decade, on the Feast of Ss. Vitus, Modestius, and Crescentia, offers prayers on behalf of a nameless servant of God who has given himself to the powers of Satan and apostatized. We offer prayers to Ss. Monica and her son Augustine of Hippo to let the light of God return this wayward soul to Him and that the demons who cajole, seduce, and molest him might be crushed. Today's reflection considers the gifts we receive at Pentecost, the way they mirror the gift given to the Blessed Mother at the Annunciation, and the responsibilities that these, like all of God's gifts, carry with them.
