God of all humanity,
The great American philosopher, and former Sacramento resident, Mark Twain wrote these wise words: “Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
Public servants rarely get the credit they deserve. Citizens are often cynical of those who work in government. But those who are blessed to serve in these hallowed halls should never forget the great opportunities they have been given each and every day.
May our hearts always be open to know what is right and good, and may we always have the strength and moral courage to act on that knowledge. May this be God’s will.—AMEN.
