            HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Thursday, May 25, 2006

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  With living faith and open hearts we lift our minds in thoughtful 
prayer to You, O God.
  By Your grace, raise us up to be mindful of eternal truths. Although 
You speak to us through the holy scripture and by divine inspirations, 
we can all too easily be bogged down by the problems of the day and 
only selfish designs.
  Help us this day to turn to You in all our necessities. With hearts 
fixed on Your loving concern for all Your people, bless our work of 
public service; and place in our hearts a longing to share in Your 
eternal glory, now and forever. Amen.
