                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord of the universe, Father of us all, we thank You for giving us 
another day.
  Send Your spirit among Your people, that we might be our best selves 
as members of an American community dedicated to constitutional norms 
of behavior and process.
  Give us all the needed patience and generosity required to continue 
to adjust to the challenges the coronavirus presents. Education, small 
business, those who have always had to live paycheck to paycheck 
struggle. Help us to persevere with all the caution and care needed to 
stop the ongoing spread of the virus.
  Bless those who labor to attend to the sick, and those who strive to 
find effective treatments and vaccines. Bring healing to those who are 
ill, and comfort those who mourn the loss of loved ones. Keep us all 
safe in Your divine mercy.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
