                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Shepherd of Love, our lives are open books to You, for You see our 
thoughts before they are formed and know our words before we utter a 
single sentence. Your powers astound us.
  Today, guide our lawmakers on the path that leads to faith, inspiring 
them to cultivate a quiet spirit of confidence in Your providential 
love. Lord, teach them to wait with hope and to endure to the end, 
believing that in everything You are working for the good of those who 
love You and are called according to Your purposes.
  God of Grace and Glory, we revel in Your goodness, rejoicing because 
of Your generous mercy.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
