Rep. David Knezek, from the 11th District, offered the following invocation:
“As we continue to contemplate and reflect upon the tragic events that befell the people of Boston and of this great nation, we fix our gaze to the heavens in search of answers. We search for solace and comfort not only in each other, but in the great books of wisdom and the moral compasses that serve as the bedrock of our many faiths.
May we find strength in the sacred words of our Jewish brothers and sisters:
Shema Yisrael Adonai Elohaynu, Adonai Ech-odh
Sovereign of the universe, mercifully receive our prayer for our land and its government. Let Your blessing pour out on this land and on all officials of this country who are occupied, in good faith, with the public needs. Instruct them from Your Torah’s laws, enable them to understand Your principles of justice, so that peace and tranquility, happiness and freedom, might never turn away from our land.
May we find strength in the sacred words of our Christian brothers and sisters:
Thanks be to God, alleluia
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
May we find strength in the sacred words of our Islamic brothers and sisters:
Bismillah ar rahman ar rahim
Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector. Help us against those who stand against faith.
We ask that these sacred words provide us with the strength we need to persevere neither as strangers nor enemies, but as people united in search of peace. It is times such as these that try our souls, yet let us always find serenity in that peace loving people everywhere seek to make this world a better place.
Finally, may we find the strength to always strive to choose love over hate, justice over inequality, and peace over war. And let us attempt to leave in our posterity a world greater than that which we inherited. Amen.”
