                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal spirit, by whose power people are moved to work for the 
common good of humanity, keep us aware of Your presence. Strengthen us 
by the memory of people who invested their lives to serve Your 
purposes. Teach us that You can bring order from chaos.
  Empower our Senators today to do Your will. Touch them with Your 
presence and embrace them with Your love. Make them content to sow good 
seeds in the knowledge that the harvest is certain.
  Help each of us to be led by You beyond the portals of selfishness to 
the spaciousness of service. Love us until we can live and love as we 
have been loved by You. We pray this in Your loving Name. Amen.
