                                 PRAYER

  Monsignor Craig Harrison, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 
Bakersfield, California, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious and loving God, we are grateful for the gifts and blessings 
You have shown our Nation.
  Be with those who are suffering the devastation of the great storms 
that we have experienced and help us as a Nation to respond.
  Bless the women and men gathered here who are called to protect and 
serve the people of the United States. Watch over and bless all those 
who serve our Nation abroad.
  Guide the Members of this Congress, that their work today will 
reflect Your love and compassion and guide our Nation to be a leader in 
justice and peace.
  We pray this in the name of the one who created us in love. Amen.
