                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Eugene Hemrick, Catholic University of America, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Lord, we thank You for yet another year and the awesome blessings You 
have showered on us.
  We pray that as we enter 2014 You will bless this Congress with 
unity, creativity, and the American spirit that has made our country 
great.
  We pray especially for the next generation who will inherit the works 
of the U.S. Congress.
  May You bless it with heartfelt concern for the world they will live 
in: a world of peace, justice, and in awe of the God who created us.
  Amen.
