                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Anthony Craig, Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Hibbing, 
Minnesota, offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, You protect, provide, and establish us. We praise 
You for who You are, the source of eternal salvation.
  We give You thanks for all the good things that You give us, Your 
children.
  We look to You today, Lord Holy Father, to be our strength this day.
  Please protect us in Your mercy, provide for the needs of our Nation, 
and establish us in truth which will guide our decisions.
  Draw near, Almighty God, and grant that we may ardently desire, 
prudently examine, truthfully acknowledge, and perfectly accomplish 
what is pleasing to You for the praise and glory of Your name.
  Amen.
