                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, thank You for giving us another day. Send Your spirit 
of peace and comity among the Members of the people's House. These are 
days of great political, social, and economic stress in our Nation, and 
those whose work is to legislate through this pandemic are naturally 
under considerable pressure. Give us all patience, especially with one 
another.
  May all our citizens, in the midst of great turmoil, be filled with 
gratitude for those in our Nation whose work must go on when it would 
be so easy not to assume their responsibility to do so. Continue to 
bless those whose life's work is in service to public safety, be it 
police, medical professionals, or those producing and delivering our 
daily necessities.
  May everything done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
