                                 PRAYER

  Bishop A. Elias Zaidan, Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los 
Angeles, St. Louis, Missouri, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty and loving God, we lift our hearts and minds in prayer of 
thanksgiving for so many blessings You bestow upon us.
  We thank You for the gift of life from the womb to the tomb.
  We thank You for the gift of our beloved country of the United States 
of America, land of opportunity and beacon of hope.
  At the opening of today's meeting, we ask You to bless the Members of 
Congress, inspire them to seek Your guidance, to walk the way of love, 
to look for the well-being of every citizen. May they become 
instruments of peace and ministers of love in the world tormented by 
hatred and divisions, so that they collaborate together instead of 
competing against each other.
  We make this prayer in Your name, for Yours is the kingdom, the 
power, and the glory, forever and ever.
  Amen.
