                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  In Your Word, You have implored us to have no fear, for You are with 
us. Help us to put our trust in You and thus live up to our motto, 
which faces this assembly as a constant call to us. Bless all the 
peacemakers of our world. May Your eternal spirit be with them and with 
us always.
  May Your special blessings be upon the Members of this assembly, in 
the important and difficult work they are given to do. Give them wisdom 
and charity, that they might work together for the common good.
  May all that is done this day in the people's House be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
