Bellowing and Bellyaching about Prayer

Although there are some here in Lake Worth who are bellowing and bellyaching and overly concerned about the atheist and insisting that now we should capitulate and just have a silent prayer before our city commission meetings...

Prayer before the United States Congress:

12/04/2014
Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, S.J.

Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.

In the waning days of this 113th Congress, we ask Your blessing, oh Lord, upon the Members of this people's House, and most especially upon the leadership. It is on their shoulders the most important negotiations of this Congress have been placed.

They have been entrusted by their fellow Americans with the awesome privilege and responsibility of sustaining the great experiment of democratic self–government. Give them wisdom, grace, insight, and courage to forge legislation that allows us all to move forward toward an encouraging future.

May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.

Amen.
