One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:


Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

Almighty and eternal God, we proclaim Your greatness and rejoice in You, our hope, for You have extended Your abundant mercy from age to age, and in Your kindness, You lift up those who turn to You. Come to our assistance, O Lord. Make haste to join us in our striving for faithful service to our sisters and brothers in the human family.
 
Pour out Your spirit of wisdom and goodness upon this body, we pray, and upon the whole government and all the American people, to dwell in our hearts and guide us so that this day and every day we may obtain an increase of peace, unity, and the common good, and that the sun of justice may shine upon this land with blessings of liberty and respect for the dignity and equality of every person. We ask this in Your holy name, O Lord.
 
Amen.
