                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the giver of every good and perfect gift, thank You for 
this season of giving that reminds us of Your blessing of salvation.
  Your redemptive thread can be seen throughout the fabric of our 
Nation's history. Redeem us again. Make Your redemptive power give 
wisdom and courage to our lawmakers as You illuminate their path with 
the light of Your guidance. Empower them to make their decisions after 
weighing them on the scale of long-term consequences.
  Today, bless our United States Capitol Police, who routinely risk 
their lives for liberty. Surround them and their loved ones with the 
shield of Your protection and favor.NOTICE
