2021 Legislative Session Opening Prayer for the Missouri House of Representatives

Posted

Monsignor Robert A. Kurwicki, chaplain of the Missouri House of Representatives, led the members in prayer at the opening of their 2021 Legislative Session on Jan. 6:

“My presence shall go with thee.”

— Exodus 33:14

Almighty God, our Heavenly Protector, Who are from everlasting to everlasting, Whose truth endures forever and Whose love never fails, we pause before You this moment as we turn another page in the history of our beloved People’s House and in the story of our lives together as the representatives of this great state.

Awaken within us the realization that You have a purpose for each one of us, that You are not only the sustainer of the rolling spheres but also the supporter of our own human spirits.

As we launch upon the new session, may Your presence strengthen us, Your spirit guide us and Your wisdom make us wise.

Bless our governor, our new speaker, and the newly elected and veteran representatives of this House, plus their families.

Together may they strive for peace in the Show-Me State and for the well-being of Missourians.

And the House says, “Amen!”
