                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  * * * by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one 
word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.--
Galatians 5:13, 14.
  Eternal God, perfect in love, aware of the profound loyalty and hard 
work of the secretaries for the majority and the minority, we commend 
them to Your providential care and guidance. Thank You for the long and 
faithful service of Abby Saffold, secretary for the majority, and 
Howard Greene, secretary for the minority, their associates, and those 
who labor in the Cloakrooms. Help them realize they are deeply 
appreciated. Grant them grace for their responsibilities and help them 
experience Your love for them as they love their work.
  Loving Lord, words are inadequate to express our appreciation for the 
dedicated labors of security, men and women in food service, our 
wonderful pages, and all of the unsung heroes and heroines in Senate 
service. Bless them and their loved ones, encourage them, and help all 
of us to show our appreciation for their tireless labors.
  We pray in the name of Him who served in love and humility all the 
way to the cross. Amen.
