                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of heaven and Earth, thank You for giving us another day.
  The Nation awakes to reports of rising coronavirus numbers, many in 
places once touted as being safe from the danger of spread. Have mercy 
on us. Help us to hear Your call to leave pride and boasting behind and 
together face a most dangerous threat to the health and well-being of 
our citizens.
  Continue to bless and protect those men and women who have been 
burdened for so long with the care of the infected, even as they are 
asked to make more bricks with less straw. As hospitals fill, empower 
those given the responsibility to lead with wisdom and practical 
insights to rise to the demands of their leadership.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
