Source of blessing.  I pray that today will bring us closer to a world of justice and peace.  God, watch over the members of this congress.  May you be blessed with wisdom and courage.  May your debates and decisions create safety and success, dignity, and opportunity for all who call our country home. 

Lead them with a spirit of discernment, humanity, and restraint.  Guide them with a commitment to the common good.  I pray for your loved ones that they remain safe and you remain in their nourishing embrace.  As you do your work on Capitol Hill, may your leadership stand on the values of compassion and respect, making this place a beacon of light that extends from sea to shining sea.  May you remain steadfast in the pursuit of the vision of a nation of liberty and justice for all, a home for all

Thank you, mister speaker.  I rise today with great gratitude for the opportunity to welcome Rabbi Peter Stein as our guest chaplain.  One of the privileges of our role in congress is to introduce spiritual leaders from across the country who reflect the depth and diversity of faith in America.  This tradition is more than ceremonial.  It is a living expression of one of the most fundamental freedoms, the freedom to worship, to lead, and to serve according to one's faith.
