                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. We pause 
in Your presence and ask guidance for the men and women of the people's 
House.
  As the Members take this time to consider far-reaching legislation, 
and consider historic Constitutional action, give them wisdom and 
discernment.
  Help them to realize that Your constituency is wider and broader than 
ever we could measure or determine. Help them, and help us all to put 
away any judgments that belong to You and do what we can to live 
together in harmony.
  Bless us this day and every day, and may all that is done be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
