                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God, Father of us all, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Ever faithful to Your promises, we ask Your presence with Your 
people, now and forever.
  The Sun grows dim and the daylight is measured. In the darkness, 
phantoms loom. The eye cannot discern as the distance fades. Be for us 
light.
  Help the Members of Congress make clear judgments that will propel us

into a blessed future. Remove any shadowy cloud so that they might 
follow the patterns of Your inspirations.
  O Lord of the ages, ever faithful to Your promises, be with us during 
these most contentious days, and may all that is done in the people's 
House be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
