Video transcript
You were there when President Trump walked into the funeral home at the wake. What was your interaction like? So it was really beautiful. Stephanie introduced me to the president as the priest that married them. And I was able to just say, Mr. President, thank you for being here. Thank you for your goodness to this family. Would you be willing to pray with us? And he said, "Of course, Father Duffy." And I said, "Ladies and gentlemen, President Trump would like to pray with us. Let's all say now, Father, together." And the whole room, including the president standing right next to me, prayed to now, Father. And then I gave a blessing to everyone present through the intercession of Our Lady of Sorrows. And then the president so beautifully turned and kissed baby Ryan on the forehead, and the baby clapped at the president. And it just broke the tension. It was just such a beautiful, human, simple moment that meant so much to the family and so much to the people in that room.
