Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
O God, who are the hope of sinners and the joy of the holy, grant this House a spirit of compunction for failures, perseverance for growth, and humility in success.
For the good of our country, we ask You to enflame the Members of this Chamber with wisdom, hope, courage, and all the other virtues necessary to secure prosperity throughout our land and equal justice under the law.
Above all, help us to be a people of loving encounter with each other and with our neighbors around the world, that establishing an ever more
perfect society on Earth, we may one day know the joys of paradise with You.
We ask this in Your most holy name. Amen.
