                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of this assembly as they return to the work facing 
them--work that needs to be done. Give them the wisdom they need and 
the charity they must possess to work together. Help them to make wise 
decisions in a good manner.
  We ask Your blessing as well on those newly elected, or reelected, to 
this assembly. May they all fully understand the trust that has been 
given them, to represent not only those whose votes they received, but 
those who did not vote for them as well. All are citizens, to be 
represented by the new Members in this people's House.
  May Your blessing, O God, be with them and with us all this day and 
every day to come, and may all we do be for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
