                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Compassionate and merciful God, thank You for giving us another day.
  Send down Your spirit upon this Chamber. May Your protective energy 
banish all malicious elements, and Your healing presence inspire the 
Members of this people's House to recognize and accept the awesome 
responsibility that is theirs in this difficult time.
  Continue to bless all those whose life work is in bringing Your 
healing to all those stricken by the coronavirus.
  Finally, on this Peace Officers Memorial Day, we give You thanks for 
the men and women in blue who stand watch every day throughout our 
Nation and for us here, at the Capitol. May all Americans be inspired 
to similarly be of service to one another, that our commonweal might be 
guaranteed.
  May everything done today be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
