[Congressional Record Volume 160, Number 81 (Wednesday, May 28, 2014)] [House] [Page H4842] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PRAYER The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following prayer: We give You thanks, O God, for giving us another day. In these days after Memorial Day, we thank You again for the ultimate sacrifices of so many of our citizen-ancestors. Bless their families with Your consolation. Bless as well the men and women who serve our Nation this day in our Armed Forces. May they and their families be assured of our deep gratitude for their service. O God, You have blessed every person with the full measure of Your grace and given us the bounty of Your spirit. Lead us this day in the ways of peace. We pray for peace in our hearts, that we will be freed from selfishness or envy, that we will replace any enmity with goodwill, and hatred with charity, so we might lead lives of generosity and kindness. May there be peace in our world among all nations. May each nation sense its shared destiny in a new spirit of hope and trust, one with another. Help us to be men and women without excuse, and may all that we do this day be for Your greater honor and glory. Amen. ____________________
