                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, You brought us to the light of a new day. Keep us 
attuned to Your Word the whole day through.
  Do not allow us to bend to every sinful inclination which leads only 
to self-centeredness and blindness to the needs of others; rather, may 
all our thoughts, conversations and decisions bring us closer to 
serving the needs of our constituents and the common good of all Your 
people. For You have called us to serve in Your holy name now and 
forever. Amen.
