                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  In this Chamber, where the people's House gathers, we pause to offer 
You gratitude for the gift of this good land on which we live, for this 
great Nation which You have inspired in developing over so many years. 
Continue to inspire the American people that through the difficulties 
of these days we might keep liberty and justice alive in our Nation and 
in the world.
  Give to us and all people a vivid sense of Your presence, that we may 
learn to understand each other, to respect each other, to work with 
each other, to live with each other, and to do good to each other. So 
shall we make our Nation great in goodness, and good in its greatness.
  On this day we also ask Your blessing of peace and consolation upon 
the family of Representative Alan Nunnelee of the First District of 
Mississippi, who is being laid to rest this day. Bless as well the 
Members of this House, his staff, and all who mourn him. May he rest in 
peace.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
