[Magdalen] Two questions for the assembled multitude

[Jay Weigel]

Sibyl, I always say that silently while standing in line waiting to
receive, even among the Lutherans. My Lutheran church has the font up
front, on the way to the altar, and there is always water in it on Sunday.
Many of us cross ourselves using that water. I do, and that's when I say
that prayer.
