                                 prayer

  The Honorable Rick Santorum offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, we praise You for the constancy and consistency of Your 
faithfulness in blessing and guiding the Senate of the United States 
through the years of our Nation's history. We turn to You again today 
and know that You will be faithful to give the women and men of this 
Senate exactly what is needed in each hour, each challenge, each 
decision. Give us light when our vision is dim, courage when we need to 
be bold, decisiveness when it would be easy to equivocate, and hope 
when others are tempted to be discouraged. So we commit ourselves to be 
Your faithful servants, examples of patriotism to our people and 
crusaders for Your best for our Nation. In Your Holy Name. Amen.
