                                 PRAYER

  Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, The Catholic University of America, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  O God, we are saddened by the injury, death, and violence which have 
entered this place and desecrated the peaceful halls of our democracy. 
In this most holy week of the year, we know and trust that only You can 
truly cast out the darkness. It is Your sacrificial love that 
transforms our lives and our broken world.
  Today, we ask for a special holy week grace. Reconsecrate this 
building and these grounds. Cast out the evil one. Make this place what 
You intend it to be: a source of hope and consolation for the people of 
this Nation and beyond. We make this prayer in Your holy name.
  Amen.
