Opening Prayer at the Senate Regular Session

Heavenly Father, as we enter our Lenten break in the weeks to come,,we thank and praise You for Your gracious and unconditional love. We ask that You teach us how to turn our hearts back to You.

Help us cleanse our sins and lead us to repentance that we may find healing in Your mercy.

Grant us the strength to surrender our weaknesses. Give us the courage to defeat our fears in the quiet of our hearts. Help us repent with all humility and the grace to follow Your path each day of our lives.

Empower us to live the new life that Your salvation brings, a life that honors You and reflects Your truth and justice, to be worthy of Your Kingdom in the afterlife.

All these we ask in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, Amen.

Opening Prayer at the Senate Regular Session

Heavenly Father, on this holiday season, as we remember the birth of your Son, Jesus in a simple manger, we lift up to you the homeless with no roof above their heads except the sky, and whose only bed is the ground.

Wrap them in your comfort when the night is cold. Give them shade when the day is hot. Feed them not with scavenged food from the mounds of trash but from the open hearts and willing hands of the more blessed among us.

Let kindness find them in unexpected places. Fill their hearts with hope when their world feels empty.

All this we ask in the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Opening Prayer at the Senate Regular Session | August 24, 2021

“God of all grace, Trinity of love, source and protector of all life, bestow upon us Thy gracious mercy. In times of uncertainty and distress, may Thy Spirit rise to banish all our worries and fears. May Thy Holiness touch the weak, the frightened, and the ill.

Bigyan mo po ng sapat na kalusugan ang aming kasamang Sen. Lito Lapid at lahat ng mga kawani ng Senado na mayroon ding karamdaman upang maigupo nila ang Covid-19 virus sa lalong madaling panahon.

Aming dasal ng pasasalamat din na ligtas sa anumang kapansanan ang nag-iisa at nananatiling People’s Champ, Sen. Manny Pacquiao.

Isang natatanging dasal para sa kaligtasan at kalusugan ng Pangulo ng Senado, Vicente Sotto III, na nagdiriwang ng kanyang kaarawan sa araw na ito.

May the strength of Thy hand fill our hearts with eternal love, as we continue to become vessels of Thy will and glory. This we ask in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
