                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Divine source of life and love, to whom all nations are accountable 
and each person is uniquely worthy of attention and care, be with the 
Members of Congress today. Guide them in their negotiations and 
decisions. Make of them Your custodian of the Nation, leading to unity 
and stability.
  Meanwhile, Lord, show Your mercy and grant Your healing power to all 
the sick and all those in recovery. In such human weakness, reveal Your 
strength of faith, both to sustain their own hope and for their 
families. In their darkest moments, manifest Your presence, surround 
them with love, and assist them with the best of medical care. Restore 
them to health that they may serve in the building of Your kingdom all 
the days of their lives. Amen.
