                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty and eternal God, in whose keeping are the destinies of 
galaxies, here at this altar of supplication we lift our hearts to You. 
Today, crown the deliberations of our lawmakers with civility and 
respect as well as passionate sympathy for humanity. Facing great 
questions and issues, quicken in our Senators every noble impulse, 
transforming each task into a throne of service. Take away any desire 
to put off until tomorrow the things they should accomplish today. 
Lord, make them brave and steadfast until right becomes victorious 
might. We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
