                                 PRAYER

  The Most Reverend Augustin Roman, Auxiliary Bishop of Miami, Miami 
Shores, FL, offered the following prayer:
  Father in Heaven, Lord and Ruler of all the Earth and its nations; 
You have given all peoples one common origin and Your will is to gather 
them as one family in Yourself.
  Look upon this assembly of our national leaders and fill them with 
the spirit of Your wisdom so that they may act in accordance with Your 
will. Through their deliberations, may they seek to overcome the 
selfishness that divides our human family and thus help secure justice 
for all their brothers and sisters. For it is justice guaranteed for 
all and denied to no one that rightly orders our liberty while 
accepting Your lordship over us and so assures the security of a true 
and lasting peace worthy of man created in Your image and likeness. 
Amen.
