                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As our world finds itself in armed conflict in so many volatile 
regions, give those who work for peace, a cessation of violence, and 
the care of refugees and the victims of these tragedies the strength 
and fortitude they need to meet such great needs. Grant success to the 
work of their hands.
  The Members of this assembly have returned home to engage in 
campaigns for election. Bless them with peace, honesty, and fairness. 
Bless the people of this great Nation with the wisdom, knowledge, and 
understanding that they might responsibly participate in our American 
democracy.
  Please keep all who work for the people's House in good health, that 
they might faithfully fulfill the great responsibility given them in 
their service to the work of the Capitol.
  Bless us this day and every day. May all that is done be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
