                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Dr. Barry C. Black, Chaplain, United States Senate, 
offered the following prayer:
  Our gracious Redeemer, we have loved You, but not enough. We have 
sought You, but not diligently. We have seen, but not perceived. We 
have heard, but not understood. We have desired things heavenly, but 
clung to the things on earth.
  Strengthen the Members of this body to do Your will. As they learn to 
love, seek, perceive, desire, and understand Your will, give them the 
peace that comes from trusting You.
  We pray in Your holy name. Amen.
