                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving and gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another 
day.
  Help us this day to draw closer to You, so that with Your spirit, and 
aware of Your presence among us, we may all face the tasks of this day 
with grace and confidence.
  Bless the Members of the people's House as they return from 
constituent visits over the past weekend.
  May these decisive days through which we are living be an opportunity 
for them to rise to the challenges of governing well and addressing the 
needs of our Nation. Give them the wisdom and the courage to fail not 
their fellow citizens, nor You.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
