                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend John Hergenrother, Presiding Judge, Tribunal of the 
Archdiocese of Chicago, offered the following prayer:
  Lord, God, Father, Allah, Higher Power, we address You with many 
names, but You are one. We are many people striving to be united in 
mutual justice, equity and concern. 444 of Your people have the awesome 
responsibility to represent, to lead, to care, to legislate for over 
260 million of Your people.
  May the laws that come from this House strengthen, nourish and keep 
us united in the bond that we share as citizens and as Your children. 
With all of our ideals, and all of our limitations, we pray for the 
Members and staff. Give them insight, guidance and vision to discern 
the common good of all Your people in this land and beyond. Amen.
