                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, in whose life we find life, open the hearts of our lawmakers 
to the whispers of Your Spirit. Make them productive, accomplishing 
Your purposes on Earth, even as Your providence guides them. Lord, 
redeem their failures, reward their diligence, and validate their 
faith. Crown their labors today with Heaven's approbation, 
strengthening them to rise above all that is common to do the uncommon.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
