                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  In these most important days and debates here in the people's House, 
we beg You to send Your Spirit of wisdom as the Members struggle to do 
the work that has been entrusted to them. Inspire them to work together 
with charity, and join their efforts to accomplish what our Nation 
needs to live into a prosperous and secure future.
  In this week in the wake of celebrating the great blessings bestowed 
upon our Republic, please bless those men and women who serve our 
Nation in uniform wherever they may be. Give them the protection of 
Your loving embrace, and grant them the trust to know they have our 
eternal gratitude.
  Please keep all the Members of this Congress and all who work for the 
people's House in good health, that they might faithfully fulfill the 
great responsibility given them by the people of this great Nation.
  Bless us this day and every day. May all that is done here this day 
be for Your greater honor and glory. Amen.
