                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  God of light, shine on us this day. Bring clarity into this dark 
world and illumine the path that will lead us through the challenges we 
face and the difficulties we discover on our way.
  May we reflect Your light in our dealings with each other. May we 
find ways to brighten the lives of those we encounter and take the time 
to reveal with a kind word or a helpful gesture, the love that comes 
from You.
  Indeed, O God, this Congress serves as a city on a hill. Nothing they 
do can be hidden; all eyes are upon them.
  Let that vulnerability be a source of awareness of our dependence on 
You. Let that visibility be a source of hope for the Nation.
  Then let our light, our devotion, our dedication, our purest motives, 
and our noblest intentions, shine before others that You would be 
glorified.
  In the light of Your mercy and in the strength of Your name we pray.
  Amen.
