                                 PRAYER

  Reverend William Gurnee, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, in the midst of this health crisis, we are humbled 
and reminded that we do not control nature but must respect it and work 
with it.
  You hold in Your hands the depths of the Earth and the highest 
mountains as well. You made the sea, and it belongs to You, the dry 
land, too, for it was formed by Your hands. As we recognize our 
dependence on Your providence, grant us health and safety.
  Finally, Dear Lord, give the Members of this body the virtue of 
courage in difficult times, the virtue of charity in all times, and at 
the end of the day, the certain knowledge that they have served their 
country well.
  Amen.
