                                 PRAYER

  Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, Associate Professor, the Catholic 
University of America, Washington, DC, offered the following prayer:
  Good and gracious God, today more than ever, we are aware that we are 
small, that we are made of the Earth, and that we are mortal. In our 
weakness, may You be our shield. In our humility, may You be our 
strength. In our mortality, may You be our source of eternal life. May 
people of every party and nation unite together in their human frailty. 
May they proclaim with one voice and one heart that we are one people 
united in serving You and in loving our brothers and sisters. Our 
prayer today is small. Our voice is weak. We trust that You incline 
Your ear and You will hear this simple prayer. We thank You.
  Amen.
