                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members who are laboring through these challenging days 
with wisdom, magnanimity, and a shared desire to serve our Nation at a 
pivotal time for us all. May their efforts bring results that rise 
above any sense of victory for one side or the other but, rather, 
mutual benefit. In the end, may we continue to trust that You would not 
abandon those who put their trust in You.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
