                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God of time and eternity, we come to You not because we are perfect 
but because we trust Your mercy, power, and grace. By Your grace we are 
able to triumph over evil, living no longer for ourselves but for You.
  Lord, give our Senators a vision of the goals that produce 
righteousness, honor, justice, and peace. Empower them to serve the 
marginalized, to bear the burdens of freedom, and to labor for Your 
glory. Give them the gifts of Your light, love, and laughter.
  Lord, we are grateful for our new page class, and we thank You for 
the exemplary life and legacy of Bobbi Barrasso.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
