                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of all creation, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Be mindful of Your people, especially the Members of this people's 
House as the next funding deadline nears. Inspire those who are in 
negotiations so that next Friday would bring moments of celebration and 
not consternation.
  Lord, You are ever present, especially to those most in need. Show 
Your mercy to the weakest among us: the children, the poor, the 
elderly, the homeless.
  Send Your spirit upon all Members that they might be inspired to do 
what they are able, to care for those whom You have favored from 
Biblical times--the powerless and most vulnerable.
  Bless us this day and every day. May all that is done be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
