                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  You have promised, O God, that You are with us wherever we are and 
whatever we are doing--to heal and to help, to give strength and make 
us whole.
  We pray that the Members of this assembly especially, and all of us, 
will be receptive to Your promises and receive them with confidence and 
conviction, that, armed by Your spirit, they will be able to forge good 
legislation which promotes justice, equity, and truth.
  May we be mindful that all are created in Your image. Help us to see 
Your spirit in those who are different from us in age, color, religion, 
and all other ways, including in politics, and engage each other with 
goodwill and respect.
  May all that is done today be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
