                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, the Most Reverend Roger L. Kaffer, offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:

God bless our Senators,
Leaders we love.
Stand beside them and guide them,
Day and night with Your light from above.
From Rhode Island to Nevada,
To the Rockies, white with snow,
God help our Senators,
Your will to know;
God help our Senators
In wisdom grow.

God bless our Senators,
Women and men.
Give them courage and patience
To share insights again and again.
Father, no one has all answers
But together help them find
Answers that come from You
To those not blind.
In God we trust and pray:
Teach us Your mind.

Life, justice, liberty,
Happiness, too,
Founding Fathers have taught us.
God-endowed, these are ours to pursue.
When our Senate meets in session
To determine what is best,
God bless our Senators,
In truth's great quest.
God bless our Senators,
North, South, East, West.

  Through Christ Our Lord. In the name of the Father and of the Son and 
of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
