                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We pray for the gift of wisdom to all with great responsibility in 
this people's House for the leadership of our Nation.
  Along with millions of men and women around the world, we join in 
praying for those in leadership in our world. Those You have entrusted 
to lead in local and national governments in this Nation and all the 
nations of the world, guide them, Lord, with wisdom and truth.
  May they seek You in the decisions they make and in the way they 
live. In praying for them, we are also reminded to pray this morning 
for those on life's margins who are affected by extreme poverty, poor 
health care, polluted and diseased water, unjust societies, division 
and terror, and those who do not have the opportunity to receive a 
quality education.
  Lord, the suffering of our world is all around us. Stimulate our 
hearts and minds so that everything we may do this day would be for 
Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
