                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Holy and compassionate God, we give You thanks for giving us another 
day.
  As they return from their constituent visits, bless the Members of 
the people's House. Amid so many political pushes and pulls, give them 
perseverance and wisdom to address those most pressing needs for the 
benefit of our Nation.
  In the aftermath of severe storms, bless those recovering from floods 
and storms this past week, and bless those emergency workers who have 
placed themselves in danger's path in service to their brothers and 
sisters in need.
  May we all be inspired by their heroic example and moved to step 
forward in those times when we might be called upon as well.
  May all that is done today be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
