| Pat, I want you to take the time to tell everybody why you called. | |
| Okay, because today is the National Day of Prayer. | |
| And if we ever needed, and I know you agree, a National Day of Prayer, it is today, May 7th, the first Thursday in May, by decree of Ronald Reagan. | |
| I was responsible, Barnett, Bryant, and I prevailed on our friend Ronald Reagan to make it part of the national calendar, first Thursday in May. | |
| And he did, and there's pictures of us there around him in the Oval Office when he signed it into law. | |
| Now, of course, the media pays very little attention to it, but it is today, the National Day of Prayer, and if there was ever a time when we need to be praying for our country for deliverance, I appreciated what you were talking about, the festivals, and how we're to be happy on the last two, but to be grateful on the first. | |
| on Passover because it was deliverance from an impossible situation by a mighty God from whom we are now distancing ourselves. | |
| Quarantining ourselves from any mention of God in public life. | |
| That's right. | |
| That's a very good analogy. | |
| That's exactly what we've been doing. | |
| Now we want to call on him, and we need to. | |
| And I was going to ask if I could offer, you know, I also subscribe to Relief Factor, a spiritual relief factor called the 23rd Psalm. | |
| I think that, yes. | |
| All right, so hold on. | |
| I will have you open up the next segment by reading that psalm. | |
| I think it's perfectly appropriate on the National Day of Prayer. | |
| And if we had time, I would then do it in Hebrew, the original. | |
| But I won't, because most people would not relate to it. | |
| But it would move a lot of people. | |
| I get moved, for example, when I hear things in Latin at a mass. | |
| I don't know Latin. | |
| Okay, anyway, back in a moment. | |
| Dennis Prager. |
