                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving and gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another 
day.
  We ask today that You bless the Members of the people's House to be 
the best and most faithful servants of the people they serve.
  As this second session of the 116th Congress draws near its end, and 
legislative business once again weighs heavily on this Hill, withhold 
not Your spirit of wisdom and truth from this assembly. Give each 
Member clarity of thought and purity of motive, so that they may render 
their service as their best selves.
  In this time of waiting, as people of faith prepare for holy 
celebrations, bless our Nation with peace and good will. May all 
Americans, of whatever faith or background, work together to build a 
commonweal--something which can only be accomplished by Your grace.
  May all that is done this day in the peoples' House be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
