                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our Father, bless the United States Senate. If anything is 
dark in it, illumine; if anything is low, raise; if anything is 
wanting, supply; if anything is in error, correct. Create in this 
legislative body a unified force for good in which its Members strive 
to find common ground. May the leaders who debate in this Chamber be 
led by their conscience and speak to You before they speak to each 
other. Make Your way clear to them, and may Your glory be their 
greatest desire.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
