House of Representatives

Sunday, August 21, 1994
  The House met at 1 p.m.
  Rev. W. Douglas Tanner, Jr., executive director, Faith & Politics 
Institute, Washington, DC, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Creator of us all: We would seek today to do justice, 
love kindness, and walk humbly with You.
  We pray for clarity and courage as this House considers the 
legislation to come before it. Connect our spirits with those of both 
the victims and the perpetrators of criminal acts. Remind us that 
there, but for Your grace, go we.
  Strengthen in us a commitment to do all that we can to reduce the 
violence in our land. Grant us wisdom to discern the proper role of 
punishment, and determination to administer it fairly. Grant us equal 
wisdom to discern the root causes of criminal behavior, and equal 
determination to address them effectively.
  In the process, we pray, save us from pride and arrogance that can 
render us unable to do either. Amen.
