                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Lord have mercy.
  Our Nation awakens to more news of deadly violence around the 
country. Fear of safety from such violence prevails in many places.
  Fear of You, O Lord, is the beginning of wisdom. Bless the Members of 
this people's House with such wisdom. As they continue the work of this 
assembly, guide them to grow in understanding in attaining solutions to 
our Nation's needs.
  Bless those as well charged with protecting and serving our country. 
They, too, need wisdom and insight into the pressure points of 
insecurity among our citizens.
  Lord have mercy.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
