WASHINGTON — Marco Rubio stepped out of a meeting in the Capitol on Monday and an army of reporters rushed him, thrusting recorders in his face. He cracked up laughing, as if to say, Come on, I'm just the new guy from Florida.

We have a lot of praying to do for all who go to D.C. for the right reasons. And for the transformation of those who go for the wrong ones.
