                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  In you, Lord, is found the fullness of life and love. It is why the 
human heart always longs for more. We seek You, Lord, sometimes without 
knowing it.
  People within our borders, within this Chamber, pray for our Nation. 
Others around the world pray for the United States of America as well. 
So many see our potential for good, for doing the right thing in the 
search for justice and peace.
  Answer the longing of Your people, Lord. Draw closer to us. Help the 
Members of the people's House to realize the promise You have placed 
within them. Not by words alone, but by actions, help them as those of 
Your choosing to be people of promise who give You glory in their 
service to the Nation.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
