                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As the Members of this people's House deliberate these days, give 
them the wisdom and magnanimity to lay aside what might divide us as a 
people to forge a secure future for our country.
  We pray for all people who have special needs. May Your presence be 
known to those who are sick that they might feel the power of Your 
healing Spirit.
  Be with those who suffer persecution in so many places of our world, 
and bless our troops who are engaged in the easing of those sufferings. 
Give to all who are afraid or anxious or whose minds are clouded by 
uncertain futures the peace and confidence that come from trust in Your 
goodness and mercy.
  Inspire the men and women who serve in this House to be their best 
selves that they may, in turn, be an inspiration to the Nation and to 
the world.
  May all that is done here this day be for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
