National Prayer Service

I am watching the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral. It is on C-Span right now. Cardinal Wuerl looks great. Steve Schneck is seated in the sanctuary as he will be leading one of the prayers. The service began with the hymn, "Guide Me Thou, O Great Redeemer," and while Americans don't sing at full throttle as the Brits do, it was splendid nonetheless. And the first reading was from one of my favorite passages, Isaiah 55. It's not Westminster Abbey, but it will do.
