                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God, You created us in Your image and gave us a conscience to enable 
us to realize our accountability to You. Help the Members of this body 
to be responsible stewards of their influence and opportunities. May 
they not miss opportunities to join You in Your liberation thrust in 
our world, persevering in the right as You give them the light to see 
it. Empower them to be true to You and true to themselves, even though 
they must travel on the road of pain and sacrifice. Strengthen them to 
work today with the confidence that You are with them.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
