                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our father God, as our pilgrim feet tread unknown paths, each day we 
receive revelations of Your wonderful care. Bless our Senators with the 
awareness of Your presence. Open their eyes to the things that threaten 
our democracy and give them the wisdom to guard our freedom. Remind 
them that beyond the appraisal of humanity resides the searching light 
of Your judgment. Lord, widen their sympathies, expand their 
understanding, override their mistakes until Your will is done on Earth 
even as it is done in heaven.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
