O God, our way, our truth, and our life, we worship You.
Quicken our consciences by Your holiness, that we will find nourishment in Your truth.
As this partial government shutdown continues, help our lawmakers to open their hearts to Your love and to surrender their desires to Your
purposes.
Lord, in this tangled world, we are conscious of our woeful inadequacies to sit in the seats of judgment, to balance the scales of justice, and to respond with equity to the myriad calls of human needs.
We need You, Eternal God, to crown the deliberations of this Chamber with Your wisdom to fit these challenging times.
We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
“I believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world. This is the end of life. The end of life is not to be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God, come what may.

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.
