                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, our hope for years to come, as we approach Yom 
Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year, inspire us to strive to 
live Godly lives.
  Lord, remind our lawmakers that You call each of us to flee from 
impurity and to live with integrity. Teach our Senators to accentuate 
the positive, to think thoughts that are pure, commendable, just, and 
honorable. May they permit You to cleanse them from every defilement, 
empowering them to live for You as they seek to do Your will.
  Lord, create in us all clean hearts and renew a right spirit within 
us.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
