Upon invitation of the President, the following prayer was offered by Senator Arreguín, as written by the Chaplain, Sister Michelle Gorman, RSM:

This past weekend in many parts of the world, people celebrated Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse.

May this New Year carry us forward with unshakable courage. Like the horse that runs freely across open fields, may we break through barriers, overcome challenges, and race toward our dreams with confidence and grace.

May the energy of the horse bring abundance to our work, joy to our families, and smoothness to our paths. Let each move we make be guided by wisdom, kindness, and the hope of a brighter future for all.

We ask this in the name of all that is Holy.—AMEN.
