                                 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. As they strive to please You, make them seekers after peace, 
justice, and freedom.
  Lord, 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 the raging floods of human disaster and distress. May the 
Members of this body become architects of a new order of hope, peace, 
and justice for the people of our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
