           HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Friday, October 28, 2005


  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God and Creator of all we cherish and hold dear, help 
Congress finish its work for this week. Then, grant Members and staff 
peace of heart and relaxation in Your presence on the weekend.
  May the fasting of Americans nourish a longing for peace and bring an 
end to violence on our streets and among nations.
  May the sabbath of Americans bring contentment to families and 
greater respect among differing peoples.
  May the worship of Americans strengthen faith, hope and love in the 
soul of the Nation and bring works of true compassion to those in need 
of help and consolation.
  You alone are holy. You alone are the Lord of all, now and forever. 
Amen.
