                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Send Your spirit upon the Members of this people's House, that they 
might judiciously balance seemingly irreconcilable interests. Help them 
to execute their consciences and judgments with clarity and purity of 
heart so that all might stand before You honestly and trust that You 
can bring forth righteous fruits from their labors.
  We thank You and so many staff who have worked hard to assist the 
Members in their work. May their efforts prove fruitful in the 
production of bills needed to fund the government into a future to 
benefit our great Nation.
  Bless us this day and every day, and may all that is done be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
