                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As the Members of the people's House gather on this final day of the 
112th Congress, we ask Your blessing upon them.
  May our Nation's citizens be grateful for their service rendered 
these past 2 years, but also justified in their hope that those 
returning for the new Congress, and those joining them, will move 
toward ever greater accomplishments to benefit our great Nation.
  Bless as well those who leave Congress this day. May they be 
successful and productive in whatever their future endeavors.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
