                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, You long to sustain us in our most difficult times. You 
desire to renew us in moments of rest.
  Grant to the Members of the House of Representatives gifted moments 
throughout this week when Your presence is felt and Your companionship 
is realized in their work.
  You can offer both healing and strengthening power to Your people 
when they seem caught by conflict and anxiety-producing situations.
  Free all of them, Lord, interiorly that they may be their very best 
and Your chosen instruments to guide and even restrain the energies of 
this land of the free.
  In You we move, act and have our very being, now and forever. Amen.
