    Lord God almighty,                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                
    May we be moved in our spirits today by the sheer magnitude

    functional as this Senate session will be today, help us to                                                                 
    never forget that You are the God of order. Without You, we                                                                 
    would have no direction in life. Left to our own devices, we

    As we draw near to Holy Week in the year of our Lord 2019,                                                                  
    let us not fail to stay our minds upon the Christ, the Savior of                                                            
    this fallen universe. The Apostle Paul well-knew the humility
