                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day. You know the Members of this assembly through and through. 
You know each personally. You know how they all relate to one another. 
You know them, as the American people do, as the 116th Congress of the 
United States.
  Lord, help them to know You. Allow them to come to know You even as 
they are known by You. As ultimate truth, enter in and make them 
suitable for Your dwelling within, so that their constituents might 
place trust in them as their representatives.
  May their service continue faithfully, for they were selected; they 
were elected by their voters back home, and called by You to selfless 
service.
  Bless them and us all this day, and may all that is done be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
