                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, who desires us to become lights in a dark world, 
thank You for illuminating our lives with Your presence. Give to our 
Senators sufficient grace to overcome all that would obscure Your 
glorious brightness. Infuse them with humility and wisdom that they 
will possess clarity of mind, purity of heart, and singleness of 
devotion to Your purposes. Break down the walls that divide and confuse 
them and lead them to common ground.
  As a caring community, we reach out to Senator and Mrs. Cornyn and 
ask that You give them Your comfort as they grieve the death of Sandy's 
Mother, Virginia. Give them and their loved ones Your peace.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
