Prayer Offered for June 18, 2015

God of Generosity and Magnanimity,

It is as Giver of Gifts that we first come to know You.

Creation in all its beauty and glory,

Life with all its possibility, sorrow and joy,

all is gift.

And through these gifts we are brought into being

and come to know You as the Supreme Giver.

Yes, You have gifted us

and we know You will continue to gift us.

So it is that this day we approach You

with trust and confidence.

We ask again that You give us what we need.

Bless this deliberative body with wisdom and insight.

Give this Senate Your vision.

Show us the course that will be of greatest benefit

For all the people we serve.

Give also to this Senate courage and will.

Show us the way to implement the vision

You place in our hearts.

We make this prayer to You,

as this new day of deliberation and service begins.

May Your generous and loving spirit

inspire this Senate

today and everyday.─AMEN.

Fr. Gerry Robinson, S.J., Jesuit Priest and Chaplain of Cristo Rey High School of Sacramento
