                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Lloyd J. Ogilvie, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of this Nation, Lord of our lives, and the 
source of our unity, we meet together in preparation for joining the 
Members of the House of Representatives for the State of the Union 
Address by our President. Bless him as he speaks and the Members of 
Congress as they listen. Draw us up to You by Your majesty, to one 
another by shared patriotism, and to the challenges ahead by mutual 
commitment to discern and do what is best for America, In Your holy 
name. Amen.
