                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Philip Ganir, S.J., Gonzaga Jesuit Community, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Loving God, source of all healing and hope, thank You for the leaders 
and the diverse people this House represents, for strength of mind and 
body, and for the gift of freedom in our country.
  Send Your spirit, Lord, to guide our leaders' work this day. May 
their labor bring greater justice, peace, and healing, especially to 
those who suffer most.
  During this time of election, give all of us wisdom to discern 
wisely. Align our work with the freedom which defines and sustains us. 
In the face of disagreement, ground us in civility. When discouragement 
looms, let the spirit of mercy, and even a sense of humor, remind us of 
our humanity. And when the goals for the common good seem distant, 
inspire courage in all of us to act justly, mindful that Your good 
gifts become more apparent when we seek unity and peace.
  Amen.
