                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Holy Father, we join with Americans across this land in the 
celebration of National Police Week. We thank You for police officers 
who serve in sheriff and police forces in cities and counties across 
this land. They serve in harm's way, facing constant danger, so that we 
may live with security and safety. We gratefully remember the law 
enforcement officers, Jacob Chestnut and John Gibson, who lost their 
lives in the line of duty here in the Capitol 2 years ago. Thank You 
for their valor and heroism. Continue to bless their families as they 
endure the loss of these fine men. Today, our prayer is that our 
gratitude and affirmation for the Capitol Police officers will 
encourage them as they encourage us by their strong presence. May they 
know that we cheer them for being willing to stand in harm's way so we 
can keep Government moving in Your way.
  Through our Lord and Savior. Amen.
