                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear Lord, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We use this moment to be reminded of Your presence and to tap the 
resources needed by the men and women of this assembly to do their work 
as well as it can be done.
  May they be led by Your holy spirit in the decisions they make. May 
they possess Your power as they steady themselves amid the pressures of 
persistent problems.
  The issues facing our Nation this week are monumental to us but a 
part of the long history of political and policy debate that have 
created a great narrative of participative democracy.
  Send Your spirit of wisdom to the justices and upon the Members who 
serve in this people's House, that the bills that lead forward might 
prove to be beneficial to our Nation and its people.
  And may all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
