                                 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 their 
home districts.
  May these decisive days through which we are living make them genuine 
enough to maintain their integrity, great enough to be humble, good 
enough to keep their faith, always regarding public office as a sacred 
trust. 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.
