                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Creator, Ruler, our Adonai, sovereign Lord of all life, 
we pray in the spirit of Rosh Hashana, the days of awe and repentance 
and the time for reconciliation with You and with one another. Our raw 
nerves and agitated hearts need this sacred time to repent and return 
to You with humble and contrite hearts. Jews, Christians, Muslims, and 
all religions that honor You as God, together seek Your forgiveness for 
the prejudice, hatred, and toleration of injustice in our world. You 
have taught us that there is nothing more abhorrent than religious 
fanaticism that calls evil good or good evil. Sound the shofar in our 
souls, blow the trumpets, arouse us and call us to spiritual 
regeneration. Continue to heal our land and strengthen the spiritual 
awakening which is spreading throughout the Senate family and across 
the Nation. We celebrate our unity under Your sovereignty and the 
oneness of our shared commitment to You. Amen.
