                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Holy One, Uncreated Creator, Light of Light, we praise Your Holy 
Name. Lord, You are the joy and strength of our lives. You can remove 
all pain, misery, and strife.
  Be for our lawmakers a source of truth. May they view pressing issues 
in the light of Your precepts, embracing Your wisdom and power. Give 
them a passion for compassion and joy, as they remember Your desire 
that they live abundantly.
  Continue to shine in all of our hearts, so that neither the shadow of 
doubt nor the shadow of death can blind us to the light of Your great 
love.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
