                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Most glorious Lord of life, You alone triumph over death and sin, for 
You alone are eternal and holy. Prove Your victory in us. Take this 
nation and make it Your own. With leadership from this body of 
Congress, raise up a people who are unafraid to look into the face of 
darkness, and by will, science, and prayer push back the door of death. 
Strengthen all human frailty that we may continue to fight against evil 
and become a Nation of hope and a people of virtue. For our soul takes 
wing by placing our trust in You, now and forever. Amen.
