                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Gregory Goethals, S.J., Loyola High School, Los Angeles, 
California, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, we come today to this holy Chamber of democracy 
conscious of our great gifts and conscious of the great people for whom 
we use these gifts in service.
  Come to us. Remain with us. Enlighten our hearts. Give us courage and 
strength to know Your will, to make it our own, and to live it in our 
own lives.
  Enable us to uphold the rights of others, and never let us be misled 
by ignorance or corrupted by fear and favor. Unite us in the bond of 
Your unconditional love, and keep us faithful to all that is true.
  May we always temper justice with Your love so that our decisions are 
pleasing to You and earn for us the reward promised to all of Your good 
and faithful servants.
  And we ask this in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
  Amen.
