                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear Father, sovereign of this Nation, we press on with the work of 
the Senate with the message and meaning of this sacred season in our 
hearts. Although the Senators worship You in different liturgies based 
on their religious backgrounds, they all believe in You as sovereign of 
this Nation. Help them and their staffs work together in a way that 
exemplifies to our Nation that people who trust in You can trust one 
another; that people who experience Your goodness can be people of good 
will. May this historic Chamber be a place of creative exchange of 
insight that leads to greater unity around shared convictions about 
what is best for America. You are here listening, watching, judging. 
When we end this week, may we hear Your affirmation: ``Well done, you 
have pulled together for the sake of America.'' Amen.
