In a morning gathering in Baton Rouge, Gov. Blanco, flanked by a number of religious leaders, asked for peoples' prayers to help Gulf Coast residents cope with the magnitude of the disaster.
"We need a higher power right now,'' Blanco said.
"There are a lot of people to pray for,'' she added.
Archbishop Alfred Hughes was one of the religious leaders at Blanco's side and he offered scripture and prayer.
"We are so overwhelmed, we do not know how to respond,'' Hughes said.
So, he said, we turn to prayer.
Hughes read from a letter from St. Paul to the Romans: "We know that all things work for the good of God . . ." . . . if God is for us, who can be against us?''
