His Holiness Karekin II's Opening Prayer in the U.S. House of Representatives
`Lord, we thank you for bestowing us with the Grace to pray today for
the leaders of this nation who labor in the universal cause of liberty
and justice. Increase their wisdom and resolution. Their actions
grant inspiration and fulfillment to the desire for justice that lives
in every heart. Our Father in heaven, render guidance to all nations,
including the Republic of Armenia - our homeland and center of our
faith - the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
`With the solemn burden of history, we remember the victims of the
Genocide of the Armenians, the consequences of which are still felt by
the entire world in new manifestations of genocide. Grant rest to the
souls of all victims of crimes against humanity and bestow peace and
justice on their descendants. Give pause to those who trample life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
`Lord, bless this land and people. Grant peace and safety to
America's sons and daughters who serve their nation abroad. May the
United States continue her mission as a great beacon of hope. Amen.'
