With that, if you've got some questions, I'm happy to try and answer them.
00:03
Yeah, look, we're, my kids are resilient, and Lori's a rock, and we're getting through it.
00:17
And, you know, we're lifted up, as Lori has said, by the prayers and the warm wishes,
00:24
including the prayer that was just given to us by a chaplain here at the local fire company,
00:30
a prayer that we recite to our children every day.
00:35
Those prayers have lifted our spirits.
00:38
I know you're going to think this sounds strange, but you can feel the warm wishes and the prayers
00:49
that people are sending our way around you.
00:52
Just feel it.
00:53
I don't know how else to describe it.
00:55
Obviously, I'm a person of faith.
00:57
I believe in God.
00:59
But the prayers we've received from our Muslim brothers and sisters, our Christian brothers
01:04
and sisters, our Jewish brothers and sisters, from everyone, those prayers are lifting us
01:08
up.
01:09
And it feels like it's wrapped around us and protecting us during this time.
01:13
Governor, you mentioned that prayer.
01:15
Can you say one line out of that prayer for us?
01:19
Can you share that with us?
01:20
Because you mentioned it a couple times.
01:22
There's one line that stands out for the Lord.
01:24
You know, it's a prayer we recite in Hebrew for our kids.
01:30
It's from the Book of Numbers.
01:32
The Lord bless thee and keep thee.
01:34
The Lord make his face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee.
01:37
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace.
01:41
That's a prayer and a hope that we have for our kids every day, that they have peace in
01:47
their lives.
01:48
Obviously, that peace was shattered on Sunday morning.
01:51
But it is a hope and a prayer that we have not just for our kids but every child across Pennsylvania,
01:59
that they live in a society that's free and peaceful, where they are protected and they
02:04
are watched over by God.
02:05
minist fast.
02:10
Thank God.
