                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dan Spexarth, St. Catherine of Siena Parish, Wichita, 
Kansas, offered the following prayer:
  O Lord, our God, we ask You to abundantly bless these dedicated 
public servants and assist them in their tireless work on behalf of all 
Americans.
  Give them clear minds to know Your will and understanding hearts, 
like King Solomon, to govern this vast people.
  Fill them with courage and resolve and deep humility. Help them to 
listen attentively to one another and to work diligently with one 
another to find solutions to the challenges we face as a Nation. So 
many have worked so hard for so long. Let them not be dismayed or 
disheartened.
  May the Prince of Peace protect the brave men and women of our 
military, deployed throughout the world. Please watch over their 
families here at home.
  We give You praise, O Lord, and we give You thanks for our many 
blessings, especially our most precious gifts of life and liberty. We 
pray.
  Amen.
