                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, God, You guide all creation with providential care and 
establish an order that governs all the ages.
  Hear our prayer and enlighten the Members of the 107th Congress of 
these United States throughout this week in their deliberations and 
decisions.
  Make them strong in their convictions of human rights and in 
protecting this Nation.
  Overall lead them by Your grace to be responsive to Your inspiration, 
and take responsible action in the cause of justice and truth.
  May those who are at peace with one another hold fast to the good 
will that unites them.
  May those who are enemies forget hatred and be healed; that the 
fruits of Your kingdom may fall upon the earth and take root in human 
hearts around the world, until there is true and lasting peace.
  Amen.
