Open their hearts and minds as they fulfill their sacred obligation to legislate on behalf of the people of the great state of Michigan.
Grant them wisdom and strength to work for justice and the common good of all Your beloved people.
Give them the innovation and courage necessary to find new ways to work and live together in unity and in peace— advancing and protecting the sacredness of life for the poor and vulnerable, working boldly for peace and nonviolence, the dignity of work, the freedom of thought and religion, and stewardship of our natural environment.
Bless, also, their families and loved ones who share their burden of responsibility.
We ask Your blessings on these United States of America. Keep us safe from terrorism, illness, and every other threat against us. Guide our work in all these endeavors.
Finally, bless this great state of Michigan, in all our diverse communities, that we might learn ever more how to be a people of love, hospitality and mercy.
In great hope we lift these prayers before You, Almighty God.
In the tradition of my Catholic faith, I offer you His blessing, through the intercession of Mary, our Mother, St. Joseph, her spouse, Blessed Solanus Casey of Detroit, and the Venerable Bishop Baraga Michigan’s great north +
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,

Indeed, our very heritage of freedom and democracy is owed to the devotion to country by and the vigilance of generations of servicemen and women; and
Whereas, It is fitting at this time to honor the legacy of strength, courage, and sacrifice of all those who have served and are now serving our country. Whether active duty, National Guard, or Reserve, our military has stood ready in times of peace and in times of conflict to answer our nation is call to duty; and
Whereas, This selfless service to country often demands special sacrifice and hardship not only from those who serve, but from their families as well. Throughout our nation’s history, many families have borne the greatest burden of all through the loss of a loved one in defense of freedom. It is incumbent upon us as citizens of this great land to remember those sacrifices and to honor our servicemen and women and our veterans, especially those who died in defense of our freedom; and
Whereas, The month of May has been designated by Congress as a particularly appropriate time to recognize and honor our military families as we celebrate Loyalty Day, Victory in Europe (VE) Day, Military Spouse Day, Armed Forces Day, and Memorial Day all during the month of May; now, therefore, be it

Whereas, More than 4,000 treatment courts
nationwide, including Michigan’s 210 treatment courts, have restored the lives
and families of more than 1.5 million individuals; and
Whereas, Outcomes have shown significant improvements to substance use disorder treatment, substantially reduced addiction and related crime, and do so at less expense than any other criminal justice strategy with a savings of an average of $6,000 for every individual they serve; and
