                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, Father Daniel L. Ochs, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, we call to mind Your presence and ask that we may be 
mindful of Your will for us. In Your bountiful goodness, You have made 
us a great nation subject to You.
  May we serve You in humble gratitude and be faithful in our 
responsibility to work for the fulfillment of Your kingdom on Earth, a 
kingdom of justice, peace, and love. Stirred up by Your Holy Spirit, 
may we replace hate with love, mistrust with understanding, and 
indifference with interdependence. Bless our Senators so that with open 
minds and hearts they may become peacemakers in our world. May the 
Earth be filled with Your glory. Amen.
