                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Erin M. Keys, Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  God of love, God of mercy, God of justice, we pray Your blessing upon 
the work of the representatives of our country. May they govern with 
wisdom and insight. May they lead with truth and courage. May they 
listen as much as they speak, both to one another and to You. For Your 
voice is rarely in thunder and mighty proclamations but in the 
stillness, in the quiet, in the moments when we pause long enough to 
hear our hearts beating and to listen to where they ask us to go and 
what they ask us to do. May Your voice speak again this day, God, and 
as we celebrate the birth of our Nation tomorrow, may we all remember 
with gratitude the blessing of calling this country our home.
  Amen.
