                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Thank You, God, for giving us another day. Even before the first word 
is spoken this day, O Lord, guide our minds, thoughts, hearts, and 
desires.
  Breathe into the Members of this House a new spirit. Shape this 
Congress and our world according to Your design that all might fulfill 
Your holy will.
  Bless the Members of this assembly with attentive hearts and open 
minds, that through the diversity of ideas, they may sort out what is 
best for our Nation.
  May all speech in this assembly be deliberately free of all prejudice 
so that others might listen wholeheartedly. Then all dialogue will be 
mutually respectful, surprising even us with unity and justice.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
