                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of us all, thank You for giving us another day. Coronavirus 
diagnoses and deaths continue to mount throughout our Nation. Please 
bless with healing and comfort those whose lives have been so severely 
disrupted. Continue to protect and empower those who tend to the sick 
and those who seek medical solutions to this dangerous pandemic.
  Unfortunately, there are many other issues pressing upon us. Bless 
the Members of the people's House whose responsibilities press them to 
address such seemingly overpowering challenges. Help them and help us 
all to trust that You have not abandoned us but are with us now, as You 
have been throughout American history.
  We thank You for those who live heroic lives during this time. Give 
them strength and perseverance in their service. May all that is done 
this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
