                                 PRAYER

  Rev. Scott Moore, Doctoral Student, Erfurt, Germany, offered the 
following prayer:
  God of the nations, You have chosen many and various ways to show 
Your presence in the world. You have been a guiding light in dark times 
and a refuge against the storms of life.
  We ask You to send the Spirit of Your holy wisdom and compassion to 
the Members of the 111th Congress, who gather here for this most 
important work.
  Strengthen them in their work for justice. Lead them in their work 
for peace. Guide them as they speak and act for all who would call this 
great land their home. Bless their families, and bless them in their 
work today.
  Grant them the opportunity and the serenity, O Lord, to reflect on 
all they have achieved so far, and unite them in a common vision 
inspired by Your love.
  We ask this in the Name of the One who calls each of us by name.
  Amen.
