                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy One, Light of Light, You continue to reveal Yourself to us. 
Because You know our thoughts before we think them, we lay before You 
our lives to be purified and strengthened by the power of Your Spirit. 
Lord, prepare us to absorb the fragrance of Your forgiveness, as we 
trust You to keep us from stumbling or slipping.
  Today, use our lawmakers for Your glory. May they be salt and light 
to this generation. Give them the knowledge and wisdom to startle the 
world with the confidence of their hope in You and with the generosity 
of their love.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
