The following prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Father Hal Barber, SS. Peter and Paul
Catholic Church, Pierre:
Legislators and all here present, let us pray:
Almighty and ever-present God, Your watchful care reaches from end to end, from the
beginning of time until now, and orders all things in such power that even the tensions and the
tragedies of natural catastrophe and human conflict cannot frustrate Your loving plans. As this
legislative session begins, we ask Your gracious blessing and guidance. In Your providential
love watch over those holding legislative office, so that their deliberations and decisions may
lead to laws that are just, fair, and result in prosperity, security, and happiness for all the people
of the great state of South Dakota.
We ask this favor in Your holy name. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States was led by Senate page Melinda
Nielsen.

The following prayer was delivered by the Reverend Dr. Ronald Hennies, Christ
Episcopal Church, Lead, South Dakota:
You are blessed, Lord God, Ruler of the universe, and You have given to these men
and women the work of representative governance.
Grant them courage to honestly speak the truth as they perceive it, and the grace to
listen to those who see truth in another way.
Grant them courage to seek justice for all Your people, and the grace to lay
partisanship aside when it is best for the common good.
Remove from them inordinate desire for personal gain and political advantage, and
give them the grace to serve Your voiceless ones.
In place of angry retort, give them patience and wisdom to do this good work of
governance.
And by Your Grace, help them always to remember that in this republic, as in this state,
"Under God, the People Rule."
O Tankashila, Onsiunda Miye. Amen.
