Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, S.J.
Eternal God, we give you thanks for giving us another day.
We thank you once again that we, your creatures, can come before you and ask guidance for the men and women of this Assembly. Send your Spirit of Peace, Honesty and Fairness during these weeks of political campaign. May their ears and hearts be open to listen to the hopes and needs of those whom they represent, and those whom they seek to represent.
Bless the People of this great nation with Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding, that they might responsibly participate in our American democracy.
Please keep all who work for the People’s House in good health, that they might faithfully fulfill the great responsibility given them in their service to the work of the Capitol.
Bless us this day and every day. May all that is done here this day be for your greater honor and glory.
AMEN
