House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Rev. Fred Lucci, Director, All Saints Catholic Newman Center, Arizona 
State University, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious and loving God, creator and source of everything that is 
good, You have blessed us in ways beyond anything we could have 
imagined for ourselves. Please always keep us mindful that every good 
thing we have, every possession, every talent, every relationship, our 
health and very life itself is a gift from You. Mindful of these 
blessings, make us always-generous people in Your own image.
  Look now upon this assembly and fill them with the spirit of Your 
wisdom. May every decision they make reflect Your goodness, promote and 
protect the dignity of every member of our society, especially the 
weakest and most vulnerable among us, and be for the peace and well-
being of all.
  Finally, loving God, we place into Your healing hands our brother, 
Senator Edward Kennedy. Please give him strength and comfort him, his 
family, and all who love him.
  We ask You this in hope, Amen.
