                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, breathe forth upon us the same Spirit that moved Your 
servant Isaias.
  Overwhelmed by Your holiness in our midst we pray for the Members of 
the 107th Congress and the diverse people of this Nation.
  Give us humility and contrition that we may both repent for our sins 
as individuals and as a Nation. At the same time may we do our very 
best to set things right.
  Make us aware of our misdeeds that we may remove them from Your 
sight. May our manipulation cease doing evil and causing sadness. 
Restore hope, for our soul-searching impels us to do good. Make justice 
our aim both now and forever. Amen.
