                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the giver of every good and perfect gift, we thank You 
for the life and legacy of former Senator Bob Bennett. Lord, we praise 
You for his diligence, integrity, intellect, and courage, for he has 
left exemplary footprints for us to follow. Be with his beloved widow 
Joyce, comforting her, his loved ones, and friends in their grief.
  Lord, we also remember Sergeant Christopher Eney, Officer Jacob 
Chestnut, Detective John Gibson, and Sergeant Clinton Holtz of the U.S. 
Capitol Police, who gave the last full measure of devotion. Remind us 
that Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
  Today, give our lawmakers the singularity of heart to seek, find, and 
follow Your will so that their legacy will also be exemplary.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
