                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God our refuge and strength, whose compassion encompasses humanity 
and whose mercy never fails, empower our Senators to be partners with 
You in Your redeeming purposes for this Earth. Remind them that the 
only greatness they will ever know is linked to Your transforming 
might.
  Lord, as they strive to please You, make them seekers after peace, 
justice, and freedom. Transform this storied Chamber of our legislative 
branch into a place of vision, a lighthouse of hope, and a source of 
solace for those battered by life's raging storms. May the Members of 
this body become architects of a new order of peace and justice for our 
Nation and world.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
