                                 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.
  We pray especially for the people of Ukraine and Venezuela, but know 
that You are aware of those worldwide who suffer from violent unrest. 
Cover all with the balm of Your healing and peace.
  May Your special blessings be upon the Members of this assembly in 
the important, sometimes difficult work they do. Give them wisdom and 
charity, that they might work together for the common good.
  And bless all peacemakers for their work. May Your eternal spirit be 
with them, and with us always.
  May all that is done this day in the people's House be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
