                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving and merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another 
day.
  You have kept Your covenant with every generation. In a world 
shadowed by the many infidelities and many inconsistencies of frail 
humanity, grant us faith in Your enduring love and patience with us.
  Confirm the Members of the people's House in Your power as they meet 
with their constituents in the coming week. Help them to accomplish the 
tasks You set before them.
  Since You have called them to serve this great Nation, grant them the 
gifts to discern Your holy will and accomplish deeds of justice and 
integrity, today and every day of their service.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
