                                 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 ask Your blessing upon our Muslim brothers and sisters as they 
begin observation of the holy month of Ramadan. May their dedication to 
You as You have revealed Yourself to them, and their commitment to grow 
in relationship to You, redound to the benefit of our Nation.
  Bless the Members of this people's House with wisdom this day. As 
they continue 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.
