First Regular Session, 95th General Assembly
NINTH DAY, Thursday, January 22, 2009
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Representative Nieves in the Chair.
Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.
Today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Roe vs. Wade, 1972
Let us pray, first, by listening:
"The Lord God formed man out of the clay of the ground
and blew into his nostrils the breath of life
and so man became a living being."
(Genesis 2:7)
Holy God and Creator of all, we learn from this verse that You are the Creator of life.
We thank You for our own life. It is our most precious possession. We who are parents thank You for the wonderful privilege of cooperating with You as Creator in bringing new life into the world. We thank You for the love and fulfillment we receive in caring for our children.
We pray for the day when all children who are conceived are cherished from the start and lovingly welcomed into this world. We pray especially for all women, and men, for whom conceiving a child is cause for fear, hardship, and crisis.
In our work, our communication and our attitudes, may we call ourselves and others everywhere to help and care for women for whom pregnancy is a crisis and a great burden. Let us help them and care for them so well that some day every mother-to-be will joyfully welcome her child into this world.
We pray to You; You are our God forever and ever. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
