                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Stir our spirits, O Lord, that we may praise You with full attention 
and be wholehearted in all the tasks You set before us this day.
  We can see Your deeds unfolding in our history and in every act of 
justice and kindness. Bless those who have blessed us, and be close to 
those most in need of Your compassion and love.
  Fear of You, O Lord, is the beginning of wisdom. Bless the Members of 
this people's House with such wisdom. As they resume the work of this 
assembly, guide them to grow in understanding in attaining solutions to 
our Nation's needs that are imbued with truth and justice.
  May all that is done here this day be for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
