                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As the days grow warmer throughout our land, major legislative issues 
loom with the potential of warmer debate and disagreement.
  Bless the Members of the people's House with the graces they need to 
engage one another as colleagues of the 113th Congress, entrusted by 
America's citizens to forge solutions to the major issues facing our 
time, be they in agriculture, immigration, or areas of national 
security.
  Grant to each an extra measure of wisdom and magnanimity, that all 
might work together for a better future for our great Nation.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
