                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious and merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another 
day.
  You bring forth blessings from just deeds. Listen to our prayers for 
the Members of this people's House. Give them the wisdom to meditate 
upon Your revelation, Your law. Help them find confidence in Your love, 
especially in times of difficulty.
  May their efforts reflect the mindset and gracious manner revealed in 
Your loving commands, and may their work contain the depth of justice 
and the expansive embrace of human goodness that You reveal to Your 
people.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
