                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, Rabbi Joshua O. Haberman, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear God, we pause in this assembly of lawmakers to acknowledge Thee 
as the fountainhead of all law. Thine are the laws that govern physical 
reality; even so, Thou hast ordained the principles by which human 
beings must interact in order to prosper and live securely with one 
another.
  Enlighten our minds so that our manmade laws conform to the God-given 
designs for humanity. Give us the sensitivity to detect and remove 
injustice and the good sense to temper legislative zeal with humility 
to listen to colleagues of either party, to those who agree as well as 
those who disagree with us. Let mercy and kindness neither blind us nor 
altogether forsake us as we counsel and act together for the good of 
our country. Amen.
