                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, who has made politics a high calling, we praise You for 
calling the women and men of this Senate to the sacred opportunity of 
developing and passing legislation to meet the needs of this Nation You 
have blessed so abundantly. As the Senators return from recess, renew 
their sense of mission, reignite their passion for patriotism, and 
remind them of their dependence on You. Be with them in the demanding 
month ahead. Give them an extra measure of endurance as they strive for 
excellence and unity as they work together for what's best for America.
  We praise You for the caring friendships we develop as we work 
together as a Senate family. Today, we ask for comfort and courage for 
our Sergeant at Arms, Al Lenhardt, whose mother, Mary Catherine, 
recently graduated to heaven. And we ask for Your healing and hope for 
his sister, Michelle, who is undergoing cancer treatment. Thank You for 
hearing our prayers for each other. Bless our families and loved ones. 
You are our Lord, our Saviour, Healer, Comforter, and Friend. Amen.
