Date of Prayer: 06/28/2024

One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:

Father Jamrog is a native of Fremont, Nebraska, and a priest of the Archdiocese of Omaha.

Ordained in 2022, he has served my home parish, Sacred Heart in Norfolk, for the last 2 years.

Even at this early point in his ministry, he has had a big impact on his community by providing sacraments to the lay faithful on a daily basis and teaching in our school.

Father's presence here today reminds us of the foundational role that faith plays in forming leaders and guiding our country.

It is a great honor to host Father Jamrog here in Washington. His words of prayer this morning were a blessing to this Chamber.

May Father Jamrog's words continue to remain with us as he takes up our work for the day. Once again, we extend our gratitude to Father Jamrog for serving as today's guest chaplain.

Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

Father, You fashioned man and woman in Your own image and likeness so that we could know, love, and serve You. Today, we thank You and praise You for the opportunity to be here as men and women who represent our country. During this meeting, we invoke Your help, God, to help guide our thoughts, words, and actions so that they are in accord with Your providential plan. Grant that all the men and women here, inspired by the gift of faith, will be attentive to the needs of all, so that, sharing their grief and pain, they may constantly devote themselves to the service of all. Make all present here serve our country after the example of Christ, Your Son, so that our country can stand as a living witness to truth and freedom, to peace and justice, that all people may be raised up to a new hope.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
