Good morning, Father. Well, here we are again. Somehow, it seems the same, yet somehow it seems different. We are excited about the prospects of the next months, but we are fearful too. We are excited about the confidence that the voters have placed in us, but may we be awed and reverenced by Your very presence among us. Bless us, O Lord.
Amen.
