The female leader of millions of Latter-day Saint children prayed for national unity Thursday as she joined other U.S. religious leaders at the White House on the National Day of Prayer.
“We pray for the leaders of this nation. Bless them, protect them and grant them wisdom,” Joy D. Jones, general president of the children’s Primary organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, pleaded. “Magnify their efforts as they seek to live up to the holy charge of their vocation.”
Thursday marked the second straight year that a top Latter-day Saint leader was on hand for the interfaith event.
