                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord our God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. At the 
beginning of this new session, surround us with Your Holy Spirit. Lord, 
these are anxious days for Your children on Earth. The risks of 
misunderstanding and failed messaging are great. Help all of us to seek 
Your presence in our midst that peace and goodwill might prevail.
  We know, O Lord, this is a lot to ask. Have mercy on us.
  May the comings and goings of Your people be under the seal of Your 
loving care, and may all our work be done for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
