feasts by which Your people are freed and purified, renewed and given a 
sense of direction. Be with the 107th Congress in this same spirit.
  We see the medallion of Moses high above this Chamber and thank You, 
Lord God, for the Torah given to Moses on Mount Sinai. May the guidance 
of this law and the spirit of the Upper Room be fulfilled in all the 
actions of the House of Representatives.
  Your word revealed to Your chosen ones long ago accompanies us on our 
journey now and directs us in making decisions for our day. May Your 
Spirit empower us always so that with loving trust we may turn to You 
in all our troubles and give You thanks in all our accomplishments and 
in all our joys.
  To You be the glory now and forever. Amen.
