                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of this people's House with wisdom and the courage 
to address the pressing difficulties of our time. You know each one 
personally, through and through, and how they relate with one another.
  Help them to know You. Impel them by Your spirit to act justly and 
walk humbly with You. May their actions and those of our government be 
marked by kindness and decency, especially toward those who are most 
vulnerable among us.
  Inspire all of our citizens, as well, to look first to their 
blessings, and then charitably, to the work of this people's House. 
Each Member chooses to serve another day; may each serve with honor and 
merit the appreciation of those whom they serve.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
