Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Loving God, in your Word you have given us a vision of that holy City to which the nations of the world bring their glory: Behold and visit, we pray, the communities on this earth. Renew the ties of mutual regard which form our civic life. Send us honest and able leaders. Enable us to eliminate poverty, prejudice, and oppression, that peace may prevail with righteousness, and justice with order, and that men and women from different cultures, and with differing talents may find with one another the fulfillment of their humanity.
O God, the fountain of wisdom, whose will is good and gracious, and whose law is truth: We pray you so to guide and bless our Representatives in Congress assembled, that they may enact such laws as shall please you, to the glory of your Name and the welfare of this people; in your Holy Name we pray. Amen.
