Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, S.J.
Loving God, thank You for giving us another day.
The people's House prepares to welcome the governmental and military leadership of our Nation. The world watches as the great experiment of civilian self–government is in high relief.
May all who populate these hallways this day be possessed of goodwill and a shared commitment to guarantee the freedoms and responsibilities inspired by the soaring rhetoric and subsequent actions of our American ancestors.
May all that is said and done in this Chamber today redound to the benefit of our Nation and the glory of Your holy name.
Amen.
