                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Jeffrey F. Kirby, Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, Indian 
Land, South Carolina, offered the following prayer:
  Good and gracious God, You have ordered all things according to Your 
laws of goodness and righteousness.
  You bless all Your children with equal dignity and endow them with 
talents to pursue happiness. In Your kindness, You inspire and raise up 
leaders for Your people.
  We ask You to bless this House of Representatives, made up of these 
leaders, and to bless their work during today's session. Grant them 
prudence and fortitude. May they seek Your divine wisdom and give You 
due homage in all their deliberations and decisions. May they always 
seek the common good, the public benefit, and true justice and peace 
for all.
  We ask all these blessings from You, who are the Lord God and the 
giver of life, forever and ever.
  Amen.
