                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Most gracious God, we rejoice in the visible manifestation of Your 
love. You save us from ourselves, opening to us paths of deliverance 
from narcissistic detours. When we go astray, You see and save us. You 
came to our world to free us from sin's shackles, providing us with the 
rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Great and 
marvelous is Your love.
  Lord, permit our Senators this day to reflect Your love. Use them to 
bring Your light and truth to our Nation and world. May they do justly, 
love mercy, and walk humbly with You. Inspire them to dwell so fully in 
the mystery of Your heavenly love that they will love others as You 
have first loved them.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
