                                 PRAYER

  Reverend William Gurnee, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Lord of all hopefulness, we come before You today in this Chamber 
where democracy is respected and the voices of the American people are 
heard.
  Grant the legislators who represent their constituents the gift of 
wisdom to craft laws that promote justice and bring us together as a 
people.
  Keep us safe as a nation so in our prosperity, we may help other 
countries to flourish, for we are all Your children.
  Finally, dear Lord, give to the Members of this body, the virtue of 
courage in difficult times, the virtue of charity in all times, and at 
the end of the day, the certain knowledge that they have served their 
country well.
