                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day.
  We ask Your blessing upon our Nation. Bless the work of the Members 
of the people's House, most at home interacting with their 
constituents. May they toil diligently to bring about solutions to the 
pressing issues facing our Nation, especially during the contentious 
season of party primaries.
  Bless all men and women across our country, especially those who work 
in service to others: police, firefighters, health care providers, 
teachers, those who work in local, State and national government, and 
those men and women serving in our Armed Forces.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
