Invocation at Senate Seventy-Second General Assembly April
10, 2019 STATE OF COLORADO 97th Legislative Session
Blizzard Blessing
Rabbi Eliot Baskin
As we approach this spring bomb cyclone blizzard, grant, O God, that you Senators and staff be imbued with a spirit of mission, purpose
and tenacity.
May peace and harmony always prevail in your midst so
that the ever expanding needs of our state receive your undivided attention,
unhampered by stormy circumstances.
May you weather the economic forecasts as you bundle
up to conserve all that is important.
May your hearts brave the fiscal elements so that you
do not give the cold shoulder to the less fortunate and strangers in our midst.
May your hard work break the ice of partisan
animosities and lead to a thaw in party cold fronts so that together you may finalize
a blue sky budget and lay the foundation for a promising spring.
May the One who makes peace in the Heavens, oseh shalom bemromov, help us to make
peace, healing and warmth for all of us here in Colorado.
Amen.
