                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Living God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As we meditate on all the blessings of life, we especially pray for 
the blessing of peace in our lives and in our world. Our fervent 
prayer, O God, is that people will learn to live together in 
reconciliation and respect so that the terrors of war and of 
dictatorial abuse will be no more.
  Bless all the peacemakers of our world. May Your eternal spirit be 
with them and with us always.
  May Your special blessings be upon the Members of this assembly in 
the important, sometimes difficult work they are given to do. Give them 
wisdom and charity that they might work together for the common good.
  May all that is done this day in the people's House be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
