Journal of the House

Second Regular Session, 91st General Assembly

SIXTY-FIFTH DAY, Monday, May 6, 2002

Speaker Pro Tem Abel in the Chair.

Prayer by Father David Buescher.

God, the goal seems both near and remote today, the way there stony. In the waning days of this session, in order that alarm not set in, we take the first step and put ourselves in Your hands. With you in our heart, on our lips, and close at our side, we take up the challenge. Our purpose attends on the people of this state, whom You love so well. We cannot lose.

In conflict, let it be You who brings convergence. In contradiction and foment, we claim Your still point of silent centeredness. In exhaustion and agitation, let Your suppleness and flexibility fuel us. Our representatives have a dwindling number of days left them. Help them, that today be for Missouri's benefit and advance. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
