                                 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.
  We ask today that You bless the Members of this assembly to be the 
best and most faithful servants of the people they serve. Purify their 
intentions that they will say what they believe and act consistently 
with their words.
  Help them, indeed help us all, to be honest with themselves so that 
they will not only be concerned with how their words and deeds are 
weighed by others, but also with how their words and deeds affect the 
lives of those in need and those who look to them for support, help, 
strength, and leadership.
  May all that is done this day in the people's House be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
