                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, thank You for giving us another day.
  Numbers of infections and hospitalizations are again spiking in 
various sectors of our Nation as we continue to consider social 
concerns about peace and justice in our communities.
  As it is a time of high feeling and reaction, we ask Your blessing of 
peace, patience, and good discernment in the days and weeks to come.
  Opinions and positions of interested parties are heightened. Calm our 
passions, that those responsible for molding a future in the wake of 
such monumental shifts in our sense of what is normal or usual are 
taking place.
  We thank You that we, as Americans, have faced such challenges in the 
past. Help us to have faith in You, and confidence in our 
constitutional way of proceeding, that we have good cause to have hope 
in what is to come.
  Bless us all this day, and every day, and may all that we do be for 
Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
