                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of the Universe, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  In these final hours of the 116th Congress, we give You thanks for 
Your faithfulness to our Nation. There have been many struggles, many 
sorrows, and challenges still as the coronavirus threatens so many in 
our Nation; in our world.
  And yet we are still here and able to give You thanks that there are 
rays of hope with emerging vaccines. We are grateful, too, for the 
heroism of so many of our fellow citizens in health care and human 
services during the pandemic.
  May the work of this 116th issue forth to the benefit of our Nation 
and its citizens, and where the efforts of this Congress have fallen 
short, we ask Your forgiveness, and the forgiveness of all Americans.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
