                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, thank You for the continuous blessings of Your 
handiwork. From the first blush of dawn to the wonders of the starry 
heavens, we are daily made aware of Your creative might.
  Lord, bless our Senators to see the wonder of Your presence on 
Capitol Hill. In the hands of the many workers who enable them to do 
their work, give our lawmakers the wisdom to catch a glimpse of the 
unity and cooperation You desire for them. Make our legislators willing 
to both receive and give forgiveness as they manifest Your spirit in 
deeds of kindness. As our lives intertwine through common task, remind 
us all that, ultimately, we are accountable to You.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
