                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, Father of us all, we thank You for giving us another day.
  As the numbers of new coronavirus infections remain high throughout 
the Nation, we ask Your blessing and protection on those caring for the 
sick. We ask Your healing power to come upon those who are stricken. 
May their recoveries be swift.
  Though all of Congress is in August recess, bless those who labor 
behind the scene to find an agreement to address the pressing needs of 
our time with wisdom, and understanding, and compassion for Your people 
who suffer in our Nation.
  Lord, have mercy.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
