            Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.

              Almighty God, today's disagreeable weather continues to remind us there are many things we cannot control. Inspire in us the virtue of humility, that we may bow before You as the all-powerful One and Lord of all things.

              We ask Your blessing upon those who have already worked long hours today, making the highways and streets safe for us and for all the people. Be with all who drive the highways today; may Your Holy Spirit keep them alert and at their best.

              May this same Holy Spirit inspire us to complete our work of this week with such integrity that our very work gives You honor and glory. At the end of today's work, be with us as we travel to the warmth and love of our homes. Bless all who dwell there! Bless all the people we serve!

              We humbly pray to You who are our God forever and ever. Amen.

            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
