Rep. Mary Valentine, from the 91st District, offered the following invocation:
“Loving God in heaven:
May the hallowing of Your name echo through the universe!
The way of Your justice be followed by all the people of the world!
Your heavenly will be done by all created beings!
Your commonwealth of peace and freedom sustain our hope and come on earth.
With the bread we need for today, feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.
In times of temptation and test, strengthen us.
From trials too great to endure, spare us.
From the grip of all that is evil, free us.
For You reign in the glory and the power that is love,
Now and forever. Amen.”
