            HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Thursday, May 10, 2007


  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Reverend Ronald L. Calkins, Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 
Mandeville, Louisiana, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, source of all wisdom, fill the Members of the House of 
Representatives with Your divine wisdom. They face many issues in 
serving the people of this Nation. May their decisions always be for 
the well-being of all our citizens.
  Loving God, people of goodwill will have disagreements. May these not 
be a source of division but an opportunity to reflect more deeply on 
the issues that confront us.
  May Your peace be in our hearts, our homes, our communities, our 
Nation, and our world. Protect those who serve to protect us, both here 
and abroad.
  We pray to You, who are Lord and God, forever and ever. Amen.
