                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our rock, our strength, and our life, thank You for 
being our high tower and strong defense. Because of You, we can conquer 
all anxieties and fears, sins and follies, failures and doubts. May we 
never forget that our times are in Your hands.
  Grant that this day our Senators will draw near to You and seek Your 
Divine guidance for the decisions they face. Lord, transform their 
lives, heal their wounds, and create in them clean hearts as You renew 
a right spirit within them. Fill their hearts with Your joy and give 
them Your peace.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
