                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, who governs the nations with justice, hallowed be 
Your name. Lord, You cause the Earth to yield its harvest and send 
blessings to those who fear You. Great and marvelous are Your works.
  Today give guidance to our Senators and the representatives of the 
people of this great land. Enable them to see the stamp of Your image 
in each person they serve. Remind them that when they lift up the lost 
and the least, they labor for You. Use them as Your instruments to 
bring order out of chaos. Bless our military men and women. Save them 
from calamities and clothe them with the armor of Your righteousness. 
And, Lord, give traveling mercies to the Senators who will be traveling 
to the Vatican.
  We pray this in Your powerful Name. Amen.
