  The Guest Chaplain, the Reverend Fr. John Francis Payne, St. 
Augustine Catholic Church, Washington, DC, offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Almighty and eternal God, You have revealed Your glory to all 
nations; You have shared Your life with all peoples. God of power and 
might, wisdom, justice, truth in life, through You authority is 
rightfully administered, laws are justly enacted, and true judgment is 
decreed.
  Let nothing blind our eyes to Your presence. Let nothing harden our 
hearts to Your spirit.
  Let the light of Your divine wisdom direct the deliberations of this 
U.S. Senate, and shine forth in all the proceedings and laws framed for 
our rule and Government. May all who endeavor here seek to preserve 
peace, promote justice, and bring forth the life, liberty, and 
happiness You desire for all.
  We make this prayer in the name of the author and sustainer of all 
life. Amen.
