                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, the God of all comforts, the challenges continue, but 
You have promised us strength for each new day. So give us this day our 
daily intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual bread that we may 
honor You.
  Empower our Senators today to become instruments of Your grace, 
continuing Your work on Earth to liberate the captives. May our 
lawmakers seize the opportunities You give them to protect and bless 
our world.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
