                                 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 blessing of life, we especially pray for 
the blessing of peace in our lives and in our world. Our fervent 
prayer, O God, is that people will learn to live together in 
reconciliation and respect, so that the terrors of war now raging in 
Ukraine, Syria, and threatening to spread will be no more.
  May Your special blessings be upon the Members of this assembly in 
the important, often difficult work they do. Give them wisdom and 
charity that they might work together for the common good when issues 
on so many fronts present seemingly impossible roads to cooperation.
  May all that is done this day in the people's House be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
