Let us pray, using the words of Dag Hammarskjold:
Thou who art over us, Thou who art one of us, Thou who art, also within us.
May all see Thee, in me also. May I prepare the way for Thee. May I thank Thee for all that shall fall to my lot. May I also not forget the needs of others.
Keep me in Thy love, as Thou wouldst that all should be kept in mine. May everything in this, my being, be directed to Thy glory, and may I never despair. For I am under Thy hand, and in Thee is all power and goodness.
Give me a pure heart, that I may see Thee; a humble heart, that I may hear Thee; a heart of love, that I may serve Thee; a heart of faith, that I may abide in Thee.
Amen.
“
O Lord, when the waters rage and foam,
Still the storms and grant us your peace.
When the gift of creation becomes burden,
Still the storms and grant us your peace.
When our fears threaten to overtake us,
Still the storms and grant us your peace.
Speak your word to the wind and to the sea, Fill us with faith.
Show us your care in the service of others, Fill us with compassion.
Make the joy of your peace overflow in our lives,
Fill us with hope.

Members and staff are invited each Wednesday at 11:00 am to pray the Rosary in H–234, the Congressional Prayer Room.
Praying the Rosary is a way to reflect on the life of Christ through the perspective of Mary. It only takes twenty minutes for this traditional time of prayer.
We welcome all who are interested, those who regularly pray the Rosary and those who wish to learn. We have prayer sheets and rosaries available.
