What do John the Baptist and the Sound of Music have in common? More than you ever expected. Also, does anyone know what "obsecration" means?Today's Prayer:Almighty God, by whose providence your servant John the Baptist was wonderfully born, and sent to prepare the way of your Son our Savior by preaching repentance: Make us so to follow his teaching and holy life, that we may truly repent according to his preaching; and, following his example, constantly speak the truth, boldly rebuke vice, and patiently suffer for the truth's sake; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.Image: Charamelody (https://www.flickr.com/photos/charamelody/), distributed under a CC BY-NC license.
