                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day. We hunger for Your wisdom and pray that there might be an 
end to all hunger in our world.
  You know the Members of this assembly through and through. You know 
each personally. You know how they all relate with one another. You 
know them, as the American people do, as the 114th Congress of the 
United States.
  Lord, help them to know You. Allow them to come to know You, even as 
they are known by You. As ultimate truth, enter in and make them 
suitable for Your dwelling within so that their constituents might 
place trust in them as their Representatives.
  May their service continue faithfully, for they were elected by their 
voters back home and called by You to selfless service.
  Bless them and us all this day, and may all that is done be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
