                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of the universe, thank You for giving us another day.
  It is Your nature to hold us in Your living presence always. It is 
our nature to think of You or of others only momentarily or in passing.
  Be with each of us that we may be our very best and prove ourselves 
worthy of Your love and Your grace.
  Bless the Members of the people's House in their work and 
deliberations today that they might merit the trust of the American 
people and manifest the strength of our republican democracy to the 
nations of the world.
  Without You, O Lord, we can do nothing. With You and in You, we can 
establish a community of peace, goodness, and justice now and forever.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
