                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving and gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another 
day.
  Help us this day to draw closer to You, so that with Your spirit and 
aware of Your presence among us, we may all face the tasks of this day.
  Bless the Members of the people's House. Help them to think clearly, 
speak confidently, and act courageously in the belief that all noble 
service is based upon patience, truth, and love.
  You know well the pressing issues facing our Nation, most 
particularly the COVID pandemic. Local and State resources have been 
overwhelmed throughout. Grant our national leaders, especially, the 
wisdom and magnanimity to do what is best, and may we all join in a 
common will for the benefit of all constituencies, even though this 
will take some sacrifice.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
