                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, Your wisdom is profound beyond our grasp and Your love 
penetrates all You create to reveal Your infinite beauty in everything 
and to everyone.
  Bless the House of Representatives, its Members, and all who work 
here serving the people of this Nation. May the vision of 
righteousness, where justice and peace reign and where truth and true 
patriotism are standard, remain the constant guide in the daily labor 
to enact just laws and clear policies.
  Gracious God, in truth we recognize that our own insights and powers 
are not able to right all the wrongs or find the paths to peace and 
reconciliation. So we turn to You, all powerful Lord, and place our 
trust in Your faithfulness, now and forever.
  Amen.
