The Office of the Chaplain United States House of Representatives

Opening Prayer

07/24/2017
Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, S.J.

Lord, our God, thank You for giving us another day.

As they are returning to the Capitol, please be with the Members of this people's House in all their undertakings today. You know them through and through. You know how they relate with one another and know them as the American people do, as the 115th Congress of the United States.

Lord, help them to know You. As ultimate truth, send Your spirit upon them, that You might find a dwelling place among them, so that all Your people can place trust in them as leaders as well as their representatives.

May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory. Amen.
