way on our behalf, we pray especially for our National Guard troops that are serving overseas,
for those who govern and for those who craft the laws and for those who apply them. We ask
for wisdom, courage and the will to strive for justice for our Supreme Court Justices and Circuit
Court Judges, our Governor and Legislators and all those who hold elected or appointed office.
Bless this legislative session that the words from the prophet Amos might be fulfilled.
In Your Holy Name we pray.
