Vol. 140


WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1994

No. 13


House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Rev. George Wilson, St. Augustine Catholic Church, Washington, DC, 
offered the following prayer:
  Lord, it was You who first planted us on this Earth.
  You fenced us around with the love of our families and friends.
  Their care towered over us.
  Under the shelter of this tower,
  We grew in safety and peace.
  The year of our life is passing.
  The harvest is approaching.
  What have we to show?
  What fruit have we produced?
  What if, after all this care,
  We should be found to be without the fruits of love?
  What if we had nothing to offer,
  But the sour grapes of indifference, selfishness, and neglect?
  May You, Lord, have mercy on us,
  And with Your patient urging,
  Help us to return Your love. Amen.
