First Regular Session, 94th General Assembly
SEVENTH DAY, Tuesday, January 16, 2007
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Pro Tem Bearden in the Chair.
Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.
(We are here at 4:00 today because yesterday we commemorated the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)
Let us pray.
Almighty God, You raised up Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a prophet speaking the truth of freedom as Your gift to every human person. He showed us that freedom is cast in the very foundation of America and yet kept from a large portion of Americans. You stung our consciences through his word and example.
We thank You our God for the great advances of freedom for all in the last forty years. By Your grace may our consciences remain alert and honest about ways in which some of our deserving citizens are still not as free as most of us.
Give us the grace we need to carry out our special responsibility, as members of this body, for guarding the gift of freedom in our land and for advancing it into places where it is yet lacking or incomplete.
You are our God, our eternal Father. We honor and adore You forever and ever. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
