The extended media coverage of this second day of the 2013 American Presidential Inauguration on this Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday, has begun at this hour on all the major media outlets and I am up at 4 a.m. Pacific Time viewing and monitoring the early coverage on MSNBC's "Morning Joe", CNN's "Early Start", and C-SPAN's comprehensive coverage.  A national day of affirming our freely and democratically elected Chief Executive and the hopes and aspirations for the Administration in the case of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, they will continue to lead for the next four years.  Today's day and night of ceremonies and celebrations include an  Inaugural Prayer Service to be attended by the First Family in St. John's Church, located in Lafayette Square across the street from the White House, known as the Church of the Presidents, at 8:45 a.m., and then the drive to the U.S. Capitol shortly after 11 o'clock this morning, for the Inauguration ceremony of the swearing in and Inaugural Address, followed by an Inauguration Luncheon hosted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.  In midafternoon the President, Vice Presidents, and their wives the First and Second Ladies, will return to the White House and take their places in the specially constructed Reviewing Stand for the Inaugural 2013 Parade.  Tonight the President and Michelle Obama will be attending the two officially sanctioned Inaugural Balls.  I will blog throughout the day and into the night in reporting and commenting on the activities and festivities of Updating Inauguration 2013 and the start of the second term of the Obama-Biden Administration.............Fr.  Troy
