A special thank you to a very good friend, Mr. Walter Lasinski, for offering the idea of holding a National Day of Prayer event.

We held the event as a prayer service following Holy Mass for the Solemnity of the Ascension. We used the Annual Call to Repentance format offered at the National Day of Prayer website, and added a few patriotic hymns, the Pledge, and a blessing after the communal prayer. I found it inspiring and prayerful.
