AUSTIN — The words of the Litany of the Saints — a
prayer that calls on holy people from the Old and New
Testaments of the Bible — ushered Lady Bird Johnson
from this world, according to the priest who was with
her and her family as she died.

"Abraham, our father in faith," began the prayer by
Father Bob Scott, who was called by Johnson's
daughter, Luci, as the former first lady lay in a coma
at her home. He continued through the roster: "David,
leader of God's people, Saint John the Baptist, Saint
Stephen."

As each name was cited, the group of about a dozen
family members and close friends responded, "Pray for
Claudia," Lady Bird's given name.

Scott, a Catholic priest, was called by Luci, who is a
Catholic, even though Johnson was Episcopalian.
