                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Michael E. Robinson, Head of Upper School, St. Patrick's 
Episcopal Day School, offered the following prayer:
  O God, You have so revealed Yourself in the glory of the heavens and 
in the many faces of the nations, in the still small voice and in the 
might of the forces of nature. Make us aware of Your presence as You 
come in judgment through the events of our time. Help us to discern 
through the many competing claims, the right and the just by using the 
tools of reason, compassion and wisdom. Help us to be good citizens, to 
work for the common good, to be willing to sacrifice whatever it takes 
to work with You, and to remake this world into Your kingdom, the place 
where Your will is done, where Your children may know no other way but 
the way of righteousness, justice, and peace. This we ask, anxious yet 
calm in You; unsure, yet certain in You; weak, yet strong in You; 
through Him who is the saviour of us all, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
