                                 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.
  We ask today that You bless the Members of the people's House to be 
the best and most faithful servants of the people they serve. As this 
Second Session of the 116th Congress draws near its end, withhold not 
Your holy spirit of wisdom and truth from this assembly.
  They return to the Capitol with a huge weight lifted from their 
shoulders, for which a nation is grateful. Strengthen them as they 
address the needs of our Nation's citizens, despite the significant 
hurdles that have been placed in the way of the assistance and 
protections Americans have always relied upon in the past.
  Continue to bless and protect those across our Nation who work each 
day to minister to the health needs of those who suffer from COVID.
  May all that is done this day in the people's House be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
