House of Representatives

Wednesday, February 16, 2000
  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Dr. Ronald F. Christian, Lutheran Social Services, 
Fairfax, Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, in this moment of silence and reflection, we 
acknowledge Your presence. The Psalmist reminds us that You hear the 
prayers of all people, the rich and the poor, the mighty and the weak, 
the hopeful and the discouraged. And, that before You all words are the 
same, all petitions are known and all needs are recognized.
  O God, we believe it is Your will to bring us all together in a 
single peace. So, therefore our simple prayer this day is, that we will 
show mercy, as we would want mercy shown, that we will care about 
others, as we would be cared about, that we will give love as we would 
want love to be given, and that we will be patient as we request 
patience to be provided to us. Amen.
