                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day. We give You thanks for the beauty of this city as the 
blossoms of spring burst forth with the promise of hope.
  May the minds and hearts of the Members of this people's House be 
similarly filled with beauty and hope as they return to the important 
work to be done. It is difficult and often contentious work. Bless them 
with peace, patience, and with good will.
  Bless us this day and every day, and may all that is done within 
these hallowed Halls this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
