                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, all through our history as a nation, You have helped us 
battle the enemies of freedom and democracy. Today, on Pearl Harbor 
Day, we remember the fact that the pages of our history are red with 
the blood of those who have paid the supreme sacrifice in the just war 
against tyranny. Those who survived the wars of the past half century 
are all our distinguished living heroes and heroines. They carry the 
honored title of veterans.
  Now, Lord, we dedicate this day to You. Help us to realize that it is 
by Your permission that we breathe our next breath and by Your grace 
that we are privileged to use the gifts of intellect and judgment You 
provide. Give the Senators a perfect blend of humility and hope so they 
will know that You have given them all that they have and are and have 
chosen to bless them this day. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
