Remember us Lord, and hear our prayer for peace: 4) Your adversaries roared in your holy place; they set up their banners as tokens of victory. 5) They were like men coming up with axes to a grove of trees… Save us, O God, from calamities of our own making, From things we have done, and from things we have left undone, And from things motivated by the blind urge of fantasy. Save us, O God, from calamities that may descend upon us, From those in which we have agency, And from those without our complicity. Save us, O God, from calamities in the world, From things done by enemies abroad, And from those driven on engines of creation. Save us, O God, from complacency of thinking, From neglect of duties and dereliction of vows, And from disregard of the suffering of others. Deliver us, set us free to imagine the paths of your grace, From the hopes of your people guide us into peace, And bring us softly together into the joys of thanksgiving. Remember us Lord, and hear our prayer for peace: 18) Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; Never forget the lives of your poor. Blessed are you, Lord of the Universe. Amen. 2022-04-13 House Journal Page 2499 The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Drummond.
