                                 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.
  In the final hour of the 113th Congress, we give You thanks for Your 
faithfulness to our Nation. There have been many struggles, many 
sorrows; and yet we are still here and able to give You thanks that 
millions of our citizens live free.
  May the work of the 113th issue forth to the benefit of our Nation 
and its citizens. Where the efforts of this Congress have fallen short, 
we ask Your forgiveness and the forgiveness of all Americans.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
