Almighty God, Your Holy Spirit teaches us: “God is love and they who abide in love abide in God and God in them.” (I John 4:16)

We thank You for our spouses and our children, and all the true Valentines in our lives.

All real love is one, since “Love comes from God.” (I John 4:7) Yes, Lord God, we pray for the grace of wholeness and unity, so that the tender love we have for our family may flow into love of neighbor and embrace the people of our districts, of our entire State, and ultimately all people.

Holy God, we work on so many things; so many issues demand our attention; there are so many needs. May love of neighbor unite them into a single web. Almighty God, bless us with great vision and excellent skill in give and take, so that our work today never contradict the meaning of Valentine’s Day but support its meaning for all.

The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Shannon Jones and Connie Bolbecher.
