Opening Prayer
01/30/2018
Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, S.J.
Almighty God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. You have promised, O God, that You are with us wherever we are and whatever we are doing, to heal and to help, to give strength and make us whole.
We pray that we all, and the Members of this assembly especially, will be receptive to Your promises and receive them with confidence and conviction, that, armed by Your spirit, we will be able to forge good solutions to the current impasse which promote justice, equity, and truth.
Pardon us as we have missed the mark to this point, and yet we pray that we will be faithful messengers of Your Word and steadfast stewards of all Your gifts.
May all that is done today be for Your greater honor and glory. Amen.
