The House met pursuant to adjournment.

            Speaker Pro Tem Pratt in the Chair.

            Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.

              Let us pray.

              Lord God, we give thanks for the extra day at home and in our home districts, as we honored Dr. Martin Luther King Day. We thank You for the growth throughout our land of justice, equality and freedom, which flowed from his ministry.

              May justice, equality and freedom continue to grow through our leadership.

              Let us pray for those who have been suffering from the cold, from hunger or lack of housing, because of their poverty, inability to manage, or weakened health. Place people in their lives to help them. Guide us to do our part as legislators.

              Let us pray, that the Holy Spirit be allowed into the political process everywhere in our country, so that virtuous and god-fearing people find their places on the ballots for elections at the national level.

              Finally, Lord God, give us the grace, strength, and wisdom we need to accomplish well our work this week.

              We praise You! For You are God, forever and ever. Amen.

            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
