House of Representatives

Sunday, September 28, 2008
  The House met at 1 p.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  We praise and thank You, Lord God Almighty, for all the blessings You 
have bestowed on the Members of the House of Representatives and this 
Nation during the 110th Congress of the United States. We have not 
always realized Your grace at work and given You sufficient praise 
amidst the problems and conflicts that have confronted us.
  We are truly grateful for all those who have served this great and 
noble institution with their daily labor. Often they are not noticed or 
even affirmed by the public or even by us who see them and work with 
them every day.
  Lord, bless all of them from pages to Capitol Police, from clerks to 
cleaning crew, from parliamentarians to historians, from medical team 
to food service, from AOC to CAO and even the new CVC, and all of the 
others no matter where You have placed them in Your alphabet. Hear 
their prayers; protect them and their families.
  Grant eternal rest to those who have died during this Congress, and 
strengthen all those who have become weak, sick or disheartened. Be 
with those who are in great need of Your consolation or mercy. Grant to 
all on Capitol Hill and in the Nation peace and joy both now and 
forever.
  Amen.
