Gracious, loving Holy One, we give thanks for this new day, and for the opportunities you give us to be servants of your people. We are mindful today of those who are hurting and grieving, especially the victims and their families of the airplane crash in San Francisco. Watch over them, give them comfort and healing, and bring them safely home. We give thanks for the police officers, fire fighters and rescue workers who risk their lives each day in our state that all of us may be safe. Inspire all of us, especially our lawmakers gathered here, to work with compassion, generosity and courage that this world may truly become as you would have us make it. AMEN.
