                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Compassionate God, thank You for giving us another day.
  As the House remains silent, we ask Your blessing on our Nation as 
the assistance provided by Congress begins to be distributed. Impel 
those charged with the management of these funds to proceed with the 
wisdom of Solomon.
  In the weeks to come, please inspire those scientists and technicians 
whose years of training and skill development have now come to the test 
of trying times. The world hopes for a lifesaving medical breakthrough 
in the ongoing fight against the coronavirus. Help us to place our 
faith and trust that You are with these generous men and women.
  Continue to bless those whose life's work is in service to public 
safety, be it police, medical caregivers, and those producing and 
delivering our daily necessities.
  May everything done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
