                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our Father, take our Senators this day and make them what they 
cannot be without Your power. Enlighten their minds so they will know 
what is best for the good of our land. Break for them the habits they 
cannot break, calm for them the worries they cannot still, soothe for 
them the sorrows no human comfort can ease. May they always remember 
that nothing can separate them from Your great love.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
