                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving 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.
  In a special way, we ask Your blessing upon the people of Ukraine. 
May peace and civility descend upon that nation as it finds itself in 
political turmoil.
  May Your special blessings be upon the Members of this assembly as 
they return from a week in their home districts. 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.
