                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the center of our peace, continue to be a shield for our 
Nation. Watch over our citizens and give them Your wisdom.
  Lord, You alone are our sure foundation. Today, may our lawmakers 
stand on the rock of Your truth as they seek to do Your will. Use them 
to transform cacophony into harmony. May the words they speak bring 
healing to our land.
  And, Lord, comfort those who mourn, particularly the family of U.S. 
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
