=== National Day of Prayer (02:01) ===

[00:00:00]  Pat, I want you to take the time to tell everybody why you called.
[00:00:03]  Okay, because today is the National Day of Prayer.
[00:00:07]  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.
[00:00:18]  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.
[00:00:28]  And he did, and there's pictures of us there around him in the Oval Office when he signed it into law.
[00:00:35]  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.
[00:00:56]  on Passover because it was deliverance from an impossible situation by a mighty God from whom we are now distancing ourselves.
[00:01:07]  Quarantining ourselves from any mention of God in public life.
[00:01:11]  That's right.
[00:01:11]  That's a very good analogy.
[00:01:13]  That's exactly what we've been doing.
[00:01:15]  Now we want to call on him, and we need to.
[00:01:18]  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.
[00:01:27]  I think that, yes.
[00:01:29]  All right, so hold on.
[00:01:30]  I will have you open up the next segment by reading that psalm.
[00:01:34]  I think it's perfectly appropriate on the National Day of Prayer.
[00:01:39]  And if we had time, I would then do it in Hebrew, the original.
[00:01:43]  But I won't, because most people would not relate to it.
[00:01:50]  But it would move a lot of people.
[00:01:52]  I get moved, for example, when I hear things in Latin at a mass.
[00:01:56]  I don't know Latin.
[00:01:59]  Okay, anyway, back in a moment.
[00:02:01]  Dennis Prager.
