Mrs. Ford's Prayer
National Jewish Fund Dinner
New York City
June 22, 1976
Can we all bow our heads for a moment for Rabbi Sage.
He is going to the hospital and needs our prayers. Would you
rise and bow your heads. (pause)
I'll have to say it in my own words. Dear Father in
Heaven, we ask thy blessing on this magnificent man, Rabbi
Sage. We know you can take care of him. We know you can
bring him back to us. We know you are our leader. You are
our strength. You are what life is all about. Love and
love of fellowman is what we all need and depend on. Please,
dear God.
Let's all join together in a silent prayer for
Rabbi Sage.
(Silent prayer approximately 1 minute)
Thank you very much. I know it will mean a great deal to
him, and I know it means a great deal to me.
