                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious God, thank You for giving us another day.
  We thank You for the hard work and dedication of those among this 
assembly working directly toward the imminent completion of a long-
elusive economic relief bill. Bless them with the strength and patience 
needed to bring this work to completion.
  As the coronavirus continues to infect ever-increasing numbers of our 
citizens, and so many families lose loved ones, give comfort to Your 
people. Help us all to be mindful of those in need of encouragement and 
support through such difficult times.
  Bless as well those who rush now to provide the vaccines for our 
healthcare workers and elders. We thank You for their excellent example 
of service to others.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
