                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another year.
  As the second session of this 112th Congress begins, we humbly ask 
Your divine presence. As the Members of the people's House attend to 
their noble responsibilities, send Your spirit of wisdom to be with 
them.
  Watch over each Member of the House and their families during this 
session. Grant that they might be wise in their deliberations, 
charitable in their interactions with one another, and judicious in the 
execution of their duties.
  May all that is said and done in the coming session be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
