                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious God, thank You for giving us another day.
  As we near the end of a long and difficult year, signs of hope begin 
to emerge. The long and difficult work of compromise and problem-
solving has been encouraging. Continue to inspire the men and women of 
Congress to work together to fashion bills to fund the government and 
offer assistance to those who find themselves on the edge of economic 
disaster.
  Bless as well those who, in great hope, deliver vaccines to the men 
and women who have been on the front line of the battle against the 
plague of COVID-19. May their work continue in good and improving 
health. Comfort those who have suffered the loss of loved ones during 
this difficult year.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
