                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Compassionate and merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day.
  As this House comes together at the end of a long week, bless the 
work of its Members. Give them strength, fortitude, and patience. Fill 
their hearts with charity, their minds with understanding, and their 
wills with courage to do the right thing for all of America.
  The work that they have is difficult work. May they rise together to 
accomplish what is best for our great Nation and, indeed, for all the 
world, for You have blessed us with many graces and have given us the 
responsibility of being a light shining on a hill.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory. 
Amen.
