                                 PRAYER

  Bishop Henry Fernandez, The Faith Center, Sunrise, Florida, offered 
the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, we thank You for this day, for truly this is the day 
that the Lord has made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it.
  I pray that our government will seek Your divine will in the affairs 
of this great Nation, the United States of America. I ask for Your lead 
in everything this 112th Congress will work on. Give them wisdom to 
make the right decisions that will cause all of us to be progressive 
and successful.
  May each Member of this House remember the words spoken by Paul: 
``Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.''
  Bless them and their families with good health and long life.
  And let Your peace rest upon them and this great Nation, as we 
continue to live out the words written over the chair of the Speaker of 
the House: ``In God we trust.''
  In Jesus' name, amen.
