                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, You have been our dwelling place throughout all 
generations, providing us with every good and splendid gift.
  Today, we thank You for the gift of Senator John Sidney McCain. We 
are grateful for his sacrificial willingness to take the road less 
traveled, to rise above partisanship, to provide a profile in courage, 
and to give his life in service to You and country. Lord, we praise You 
for his awareness that humanity is wrapped in a blanket of mutuality, 
so we should not ask for whom the bell tolls. Comfort his beloved Cindy 
and all his loved ones. Bring solace to the multitudes who mourn his 
death. May his consequential, patriotic, and heroic legacy challenge us 
all to leave the world better than we found it.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
