Journal of the Senate

FIRST REGULAR SESSION

VETO SESSION

SECOND DAY--THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2003

President Maxwell in the Chair.

Reverend Carl Gauck offered the following prayer:

"Remember my affliction and bitterness, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually thinks of it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; ..." (Lamentations 3:19-22)

Gracious God, we are mindful of this day and those who brought death, pain and grief to our people. We remember that amidst the charred ruins and bitterness we experienced we turned to You and You comforted us and gave us hope. In this hope may we find both individually and as a nation, ways to put an end to the violence, and help us enjoy peace and harmony among all people. And Lord may it begin with us. In Your Holy Name, we pray. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was recited.

A quorum being established, the Senate proceeded with its business.
