                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, glorious in strength and marvelous in majesty, we 
ascribe to You the glory due Your Name. You have elevated this Nation 
and sustained it through its history. Keep us from forgetting that 
righteousness exalts, but sin destroys.
  Lord, infuse our Senators with the spirit of humility, enabling them 
to refuse to become legends in their own minds. May they cultivate 
esteem for others, seeking for opportunities to practice the Golden 
Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. As they work 
to find common ground, give them Your wisdom and peace.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
