                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, thank You for giving us another day.
  Send Your Spirit upon the Members of this people's House to encourage 
them in their official tasks. Especially during this season of budget 
deliberations, give them wisdom and an accurate understanding of the 
needs of the citizens of this country, most particularly those with 
narrow margins in their life options.
  Remind us all of the dignity of work, and teach us to use our talents 
and abilities in ways that are honorable and just and are of benefit to 
those we serve.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
