Reverend Patrick J. Conroy,S.J.
Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. We pause in Your presence and ask guidance for the men and women of the people's House.
Enable them, O God, to act on what they believe to be right and true and just, and to do so in ways that show respect for those with whom they disagree.
Send Your spirit of peace upon our Nation. Endow the Members of this House and all our governmental leaders with the wisdom to respond with whatever policies and laws might be needed to ensure greater peace and security in our land.
Bless us this day and every day, and may all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
Amen.
