                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of might and power, give our Senators today Your passion. Give 
them a passion for people that will bring liberty and hope. Give them a 
passion for justice that will empower them to become our Nation's 
conscience. Give them a passion for unity that will break down the 
barriers that divide us. Give them a passion for action that they may 
not shrink from the new or be satisfied with the comfortable inertia.
  Give us all a passion for progress that will enable us to see what is 
not and dream what can be.
  We pray in Your precious Name. Amen.
