                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord of love and mercy, thank You for giving us another day.
  As thousands of Americans fill the streets of towns and cities 
throughout the country, we know that there is a great movement of 
spirit in our Nation. We know not where it leads.
  Fill us with Your spirit of discernment and good judgment, that the 
national dialogue might issue forth in a community more consonant with 
the founding principles of our Nation. Cleanse us of the racism that we 
must own as our historical failures still to actualize one nation under 
You, with liberty and justice for all.
  Through it all, continue to bless and protect those protesting, but 
also those members of police departments and security units charged 
with protecting and serving our communities.
  As well, dear Lord, continue to protect Your people during this time 
of pandemic, and inspire those medical professionals who labor through 
these times to find a treatment and protection against the coronavirus.
  Bless us this day, and every day, and may all that we do and can do 
for our neighbors be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
