Lord, today we pray for Hon. Paul Calandra. We ask that you would help him in his role as MPP for his Markham riding and we pray that you would help him serve the people of his riding well. We pray for him and his role as Government House Leader. We pray that he would work well with the other Political Parties so that politics would not be advanced but the interests of the people of Ontario. Bless his family and their willingness to share him with the people of his riding and the province. We ask this all in Jesus name. Amen.
