Prayer Offered for September 15, 2017

By Senate Chaplain: Sr. Michelle Gorman, RSM

                As you bring closure to this legislative session, we remember Ecclesiastes Chapter 3:

                There is a time for everything,
                and a season for every activity under the heavens:

                a time to be born and a time to die,

                a time to tear down and a time to build,
                a time to weep and a time to laugh,
                a time to mourn and a time to dance,
                a time to search and a time to give up searching,
                a time to keep and a time to let go,
                a time to speak and a time to be silent.

                 The writer of Ecclesiastes concludes—there is nothing better for us than to be happy and to do good while we live.

                May you be blessed for the good you have worked to accomplish this session.  You will continue to be in my prayers with gratitude.
