                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, sustainer of us all, give today to our Senators 
reverence to realize Your presence, humility to know their own needs, 
trust to ask You for help, and obedience to accept Your guidance. 
Remind us all that all great things have their price.
  May we remember that there is no purity without vigilance, no 
friendship without loyalty, no joy without service, and no crown 
without a cross. Help us to be willing to pay the price that we may 
enter into our reward.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
