                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  You have blessed us with all good gifts, and with thankful hearts we 
express our gratitude. As the hope of a delayed spring lifts the 
spirits of all working at the Capitol, we ask Your blessing upon those 
in our world facing difficult and uncertain futures, most especially in 
Crimea and Venezuela, as well as other chronically suffering 
communities.
  In this moment of prayer, please grant to the Members of this 
people's House, as they meet with their respective constituents, the 
gifts of wisdom and discernment, that in their words and actions they 
will do justice, love with mercy, and walk humbly with You.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
