                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God who presides over the universe, thank You for Your 
goodness and Your love. Today, make us instruments for grace. Help us 
to draw strength from each other, to be quick to listen and slow to 
speak. Teach us to refuse to let this world squeeze us into its mold, 
but make us ambassadors of transformation. Fill our Senators with power 
and wisdom so that Your name will be praised throughout the Earth. 
Strengthen our minds and bodies.
  And, Lord, today we give You a special thanks for the lives and 
legacies of Paul and Sheila Wellstone. We pray this in Your holy name. 
Amen.
