                                 PRAYER

  Loving God, source of all wisdom, You lead us in discovering what is 
true and good, so that human society may come to reflect Your loving 
order.

  Bless the work of the people's House, inspire all those who labor in 
it with Your wisdom and truth. Give them a spirit of enthusiasm and joy 
in their worthy efforts, and may they find fulfillment in their 
service. As they seek to advance the common good, guide them in making 
right decisions and carrying them out with true justice, helping them 
to be particularly attentive to the needs of those who cannot fend for 
themselves, or who struggle with little hope.
  May the work of this House help advance a peaceful society in our 
Nation and foster unity in mutual goodwill, so that in all things, You 
may be glorified.
  We ask all this in Your most holy name.
  Amen.
