Fr. Christopher Ankley, Pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Battle Creek, offered the following invocation:

“Almighty and eternal God, We adore You and praise Your Holy Name, You have revealed Your glory to all nations. God of power and might, wisdom and justice, through Your authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgment is decreed.

Assist with Your spirit of counsel and fortitude these representatives of the state of Michigan, that their works may be conducted in righteousness, and be eminently useful to Your people over whom they preside. May they encourage due respect for virtue and religion. May they execute the laws with justice and mercy. May they seek to restrain crime, vice, and immorality.

Let the light of Your divine wisdom direct the deliberations of this House of Representatives and shine forth in all the proceedings and laws framed for our rule and government. May they seek to preserve peace, promote happiness and continue to bring us the blessings of liberty and equality.

We pray for our governor, Rick Snyder, for all members of the legislature, for judges, elected civil officials, and all others who are entrusted to guard our political welfare. May they be enabled by Your powerful protection to discharge their duties with honesty and ability.

We likewise commend to Your unbounded mercy all citizens of the state of Michigan, that we may be blessed in the knowledge and sanctified in the observance of Your Holy Law. May we be preserved in union and that peace which the world cannot give; and, after enjoying the blessings of this life, be admitted to those which are eternal.

We pray to You, who are Lord and God, for ever and ever. Amen.”
