Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Heavenly Father,
In your wisdom, you created man and woman and called us to be stewards of your creation. As this new day begins for the Congress of the United States, we invoke your presence in our deliberations and activities.
We represent communities from diverse parts of this great nation. Although we travel to our nation’s capitol from different directions, as U.S. legislators, let us be steadfast in our solidarity to seek the common path that leads to the betterment of all people in our nation.
Noble and valiant men and women of different cultures and ethnic heritages contributed to the establishment of democracy in the United States of America. Strengthen our resolve to do good. We accept the challenge to listen to one another, to support one another, and to respond generously to those most in need.
This we pray in your Holy Name.
Amen.
