CREC-2020-12-31-pt1-PgH9169-2 2020-12-31 116 2     PRAYER HOUSE HOUSE PRAYER H9169 H9169     166 Cong. Rec. H9169 Congressional Record, Volume 166 Issue 223 (Thursday, December 31, 2020) [Congressional Record Volume 166, Number 223 (Thursday, December 31, 2020)] [House] [Page H9169] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PRAYER The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following prayer: Lord, Father of us all, we give You thanks for giving us another day--another year. Today, the last day of 2020, a most difficult year in so many ways, we ask Your blessing on this House and upon our Nation this penultimate pro forma session of the 116th Congress. As we ``gather,'' virtually like the rest of our world in this time, we mourn the death of the first Member of Congress, Luke Letlow, newly elected and not yet sworn in, of COVID. Only 41, his death brings the brutal nature of this coronavirus plague to the doorstep of Congress. May all here find, with Your grace O Lord, the renewed energy and resolve to put our Nation's assets to the suppression of this disease. Lord, have mercy. Bless as well those who have labored in these Halls and offices during this extraordinary year. Without their steady and faithful service, the work of Congress would not have been possible. May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory. Amen. ____________________
