                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  You have blessed us with all good gifts, and with thankful hearts we 
express our gratitude. You have created us with opportunities to serve 
other people in their need, to share together in respect and affection, 
and to be faithful in the responsibilities we have been given.
  In this moment of prayer, please grant to the Members of this 
people's House the gifts of wisdom and discernment that, in their words 
and actions, they will do justice, love with mercy, and walk humbly 
with You.
  In this most auspicious week of issues in our Nation's Capital, send 
Your Spirit of peace and good will, that we all might find in one 
another our common future.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
