                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Everlasting Father, enable us to love You with all our hearts, souls, 
minds, and strength. Give us humility so we can see Your divine image 
in the people around us and serve You by serving them. Let this love 
expressed in service transform our Senators, Nation, and world.
  Lord, guide our lawmakers. Make them kind in thought, gentle in 
speech, and generous in actions. Help them to avoid the arena of 
combative words and seek a caring community of integrity, respect, and 
civility.
  Lord, teach them that it is better to give than to receive, as You 
lead them to a humility that seeks great things for others.
  We pray in Your precious Name. Amen.
