                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Scott Sina, St. John the Beloved Catholic Church, McLean, 
Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Loving and gracious God, we ask that You pour out Your blessings on 
our Nation this day.
  May these men and women, who are called here today as Representatives 
of the people of this country, be given an inspired vision of the 
common good, and may they meet the challenges they face with resolve 
and righteousness.
  May Your grace bestow upon the Members of this House a lively hope 
and the virtues of justice, wisdom, and compassion that they may be 
instruments of Your holy will in carrying out their noble vocation as 
public servants.
  We pray that the work of this House will contribute to the 
flourishing of this Nation so that all peoples and families will be 
raised in dignity, encouraged in solidarity, and blessed with ordered 
liberty.
  We ask this through Christ, our Lord, who reigns forever and ever.
  Amen.
