                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of peace, help us to receive Your peace today and become Your 
instruments of reconciliation on Earth. Forgive us for the times we 
have permitted acrimony to deface Your image in humanity. Use our 
lawmakers to communicate Your peace, bringing hope and healing to our 
Nation and world. Lord, make our Senators channels of Your grace to 
transform discord into harmony and conflict into cooperation. Help us 
to hear the drumbeat of Your direction and march to the cadence of Your 
guidance.
  And Lord, bless the illustrious summer 2016 Senate page class that 
prepares to leave Capitol Hill. Thank You for the faithfulness of these 
outstanding young people.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
