                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  All powerful and ever-living God, in You there is no darkness. From 
You nothing is hidden.
  Shed upon us the radiance of Your light. May we see ourselves as You 
would judge us. May we see others as You would know them.
  In the fullness of Your love and light, guide the Members of Congress 
that they may be men and women of great vision.
  May they know in depth the American people they serve and enable them 
to read Your law written on their hearts.
  Make them creative in their questioning and their search to respond 
to today's greatest needs.
  For in them and through them, O Lord, You can reveal Your Divine 
Providence, again shaping America's history for tomorrow and future 
tomorrows.
  Amen.
