                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Joseph L. Logrip, Pastor, Immaculate Conception Church, 
Levittown, Pennsylvania, offered the following prayer:
  Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and 
everywhere to give You thanks and praise. You graciously share Your 
governance with us, a governance where life and freedom, worship and 
charity, justice and peace, work and ownership are foundational to Your 
eternal plan. How awesome this governance. How demanding this task.
  Give us, we beseech You, the gift of wisdom, the great attendant at 
Your throne, for Your wisdom renders right judgment and integrity of 
heart.
  Keep us safe and strong. Allow our governance to be pleasing in Your 
eyes and conformable to Your commands. So we recognize You as the God 
of this Nation and the Lord of this land.
  As always, we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
