easy. One is expected to satisfy so many. Yet one thing
is necessary -- that we satisfy you. This will be the one
question that we shall all have to answer when our
careers finally come to an end. Give us prudence and
insight to fulfill our duties as representatives of the
people with a good -conscience. Let us be honorable
in all our dealings, pursuant of the common good in all
our deliberations, motivated by principle in all our
actions. Let us seek Your help more often in prayer.
Send Your Holy Spirit to guide us, particularly in those
dark hours when the right course is not so clear.
Help us to understand that free speech is Your
gift, and we have no right to be quiet through pride,
cowardice, negligence or prejudice, but when the occasion
demands, we must weigh our words in the sight of the
Lord.
The lives and happiness of many depend on good
representatives. There is so much to do for good. Let
me not compromise but be motivated by the love You have
shown for me. Amen.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.
