          HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Thursday, September 4, 2003

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of silence, God of peace, in whom we live, move and have our very 
being, help this day the Members of the House of Representatives and 
those who assist them in their work. In the midst of their busy day, 
enable them to find a moment of stillness within and know that You are 
God and present to guide them.
  May all the people of this great Nation be people of faith as well 
and come to seek Your face, O Lord. At this moment, people across this 
vast country join us in praying for the leaders in government they have 
elected. Praying together can unite us in works of justice and securing 
peace in this world.
  With You we can accomplish great and glorious deeds because we pray 
and act in Your holy name. Amen.
