                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Help us this day to draw closer to You so that with Your spirit, and 
aware of Your presence among us, we may all face the tasks of this day.
  Bless the Members of the people's House. Help them to think clearly, 
speak confidently, and act courageously in the belief that all noble 
service is based upon patience, truth, and love.
  Give them the wisdom and the courage to fail not their fellow 
citizens nor You.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
