                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Compassionate and merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day.
  As this House comes together at the end of the week, bless the work 
of its Members.
  Give them strength, fortitude, and patience. Fill their hearts with 
charity, their minds with understanding, their wills with courage to do 
the right thing for all of America.
  In the work to be done before the end of this session, may they rise 
together to accomplish what is best for our great Nation and, indeed, 
for all the world, for You have blessed us with many graces and given 
us the responsibility of being a light shining on a hill.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory. 
Amen.
