Blessed are You, Lord, God of mercy! By Your power and Your love, You have created all people equal, and You have an equal love for all –– the poor and the weak, the successful and the strong.

Give us a share of Your concern for all the people as we take up the work before us.

Send down Your blessing upon our Governor, the men and women of the Missouri Senate, and all in this House of Representatives, all devoting themselves to helping others. Give them extraordinary ability to work together in this time of extraordinary need. Grant them the holy experience of faithfully serving You as they serve the people of our State.

We praise You and ask these blessings upon our work; for You are our God, forever and ever. Amen.
