                                 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.
  The work that they have is difficult work. 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 riches and a great history of 
building a participative government of the people, by the people, and 
for the people.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
