                                 PRAYER

  Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, Catholic University of America, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Good and gracious God, as we continue to celebrate the birth of this 
great Nation and the freedoms it enjoys, we are reminded that true and 
lasting freedom comes from You. May we use the many gifts You have 
given us to spread Your freedom and peace throughout this land and this 
world. May we be Your light to other nations and a source of hope in 
Your lasting freedom for all peoples. We fervently offer this prayer 
and are confident that You hear and answer us.
  Amen.
