                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of Mercy, thank You for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of the people's House today.
  Good Friday--a day when millions of Americans recall and mourn the 
death of the Suffering Servant. Good Friday, today, when thousands of 
Americans are servants, suffering through the care of those stricken by 
COVID-19 with inadequate safety supplies.
  Passover, when millions of Americans celebrate the liberation of the 
chosen people from slavery. Passover, when millions of Americans 
experience the lack of freedom--to gather with family, to celebrate the 
passages of life together.
  Lord, these are days of suffering and turmoil not only for Americans 
but for all Your children throughout the world. Help us; heal us; have 
mercy on us. Protect those who daily place themselves in harm's way in 
service to those threatened by the coronavirus.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
