House of Representatives

  The House met at 10:30 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal Source of life and human freedom, unite those here present 
with all the Members of the United States House of Representatives in 
this moment of prayer.
  Help them to be fully engaged in their work today as they shape laws 
that will make this country stronger in integrity and solidarity.
  Inspire them to reach out with policies of compassion to those most 
in need of society's concern.
  May our military sons and daughters be protected from harm and remain 
focused on doing what is right and just.
  Assist the poor and the sick, especially those who are disabled or 
uninsured.
  By Your love and presence, claim us as Your very own, both now and 
forever. Amen.
