                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, thank You for giving us another day. Bless and comfort 
those who suffer from coronavirus; give them healing. Bless and comfort 
those who mourn the loss of loved ones in the wake of COVID-19.
  With the Psalmist, we turn to You:

       Have mercy upon us, O God, for we are treated harshly;
       Our foes treat us harshly all the day;
       Yes, many are our attackers.
       O Most High, when we are afraid, in You we place our trust. 
     We praise the word of God; we trust in God and do not fear.
       All the day, our enemies foil our plans; Their every 
     thought is of evil against us. They . . . lie in wait for our 
     lives.

  Our issues, our threats are many, O God. Pandemic, civil unrest and 
police reform, aggressive Russian and Chinese policies, a struggling 
economy. Help us in our time of need.
  Bless the people's House, and may all that is done be for Your 
greater honor and glory. Amen.
