                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, source of enabling strength, sustain our Senators not 
only in the great moments but also in the repetitive and common tasks 
of life. Establish their work, strengthening them to honor You by 
serving others. Lord, make them agents of healing and hope as they help 
people live in greater justice and peace. Empower them to daily develop 
greater respect and submission to Your commands. Fill them with Your 
life-giving spirit so that they will feel greater compassion for those 
on life's margins. We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
