                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Thomas More Garrett, OP, St. Pius V Catholic Church, 
Providence, Rhode Island, offered the following prayer:
  Hear us O God, we pray, that we may begin these summer months 
refreshed and renewed. Give new vigor to our efforts. Help us to be 
always mindful of the guiding hand of providence as we seek to better 
our country and the world at large.
  Let us remember that we are not always the best arbiters of our own 
good, that we can be wrong about what is best for us, and that our own 
desires can sometimes bring us harm. Confident in Your assistance, we 
turn to You for Your protection and ask You to save us from the 
difficulties that we bring upon ourselves.
  Amen.
