                                 PRAYER

  Reverend William Gurnee, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Eternal God, this day we come humbly before You and ask Your blessing 
upon our country and this Congress. In Your goodness, be present to our 
citizens and allies who are far from home and seeking safety.
  May our elected leaders make it their aim to do justice, love mercy, 
and walk humbly with You. Finally, Dear Lord, give the Members of this 
body passion for their cause, eloquence in debate, and respect for 
those with whom they disagree.
  Most especially, grant them, at the end of the day, the certain 
knowledge that they have served their country well.
  Amen.
