                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord our God, thank You for giving us another day.
  We ask Your blessing on all the Members of the people's House during 
these rare days of coming together in this Chamber. The coronavirus has 
changed so many forms and patterns of gathering, as family, community, 
and here in Congress.
  Send out Your spirit that those who find themselves at odds with 
their colleagues might continue the productive work that must be done, 
but which does not draw contentious attention, and address as well the 
issues which are pressing upon our Nation. Lord, have mercy.
  Continue to bless the men and women who attend to those who are 
sick--the number continuing to grow throughout our country. Keep our 
healthcare professionals safe and inspire those who labor to find 
treatments and cures for this dangerous virus.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
