                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, from whom we come and to whom we belong and in 
whose service is our peace, may Your kingdom come. Use our lawmakers to 
do your will on Earth as it is done in Heaven. Create in them 
courageous hearts that will beat undaunted by fear, unconquered by 
adversity, and unstained by sin. Give them the wisdom to put themselves 
in others' places before judging them. Strengthen them to lift 
downcast, stricken lives.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
