  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God of heaven and earth, You love all You have created. Fill 
this Chamber of the House of Representatives with Your presence and 
love.
  Guide the Members and their staffs to live and work in a manner 
worthy of their calling.
  Let all atone for mistakes of the past and rectify the governing of 
Your people.
  It is Your Divine Providence, O Lord, which has brought us together 
at this time; to accomplish great deeds in the name of this country we 
choose to love and serve, now and forever.
  Amen.
