"The House will be in order. The in- vocation will be by our House chaplain, Dr. Johnson."
"We pray. Our Father in Heaven, we acknow- ledge before you this day that your resources are sufficient for our every need and yet we find all too often that we do not need your resources, but frequently we rely soley upon our own. As we thank you for your gifts of bread, shelter and life, we discover that we often misuse your blessings and act as though we are not called to account for them. Whenever we are thankless or selfish, remind us that we can begin each day anew with a new sense of dedi- cation as we seek to use your gifts in accordance with your will. As we look over the calendar, we see that there is so much to be done. Guide us in what we do so that we prove to be instruments for the well-being and continuing progress of our people. We remember before you in this moment Jane Ann, the beloved daughter of Representative Soderstrom, whose life was suddenly taken shortly before Easter. Com- fort and sustain him and his family, O Father, with the hope of the resurrection and teach each one of us to live so that we live whether we live or die, we are the lords. GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE OF ILLINOIS // 3. Receive our prayer in the name of him who is the resurrec- tion and the life. Amen."
