Forgive us for when we don’t thank You enough, for Who You are, for all that You do, for all that You’ve given. Renew our spirits, fill us with Your peace and joy. We love You and we need You, this day and every day.

In Jesus name, Amen.”

Whereas, We celebrate the establishment of the American Irish State Legislators Caucus with its aim of fostering and strengthening the longstanding relationship that exists between the United States of America and Ireland to the mutual benefit of both countries with leadership in all 50 states; and
