                                  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. 
 In the final hour of the 112th Congress, we give You thanks for Your faithfulness to our Nation. There
have been many struggles, many sorrows, and yet we are still here and able to give You thanks, that millions of our citizens live free.
  May the work of the 112th issue forth to the benefit of our Nation and its citizens, and where the 
efforts of this Congress have fallen short, we ask Your forgiveness and the forgiveness of all Americans. 
May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory. 
 Amen.
