                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of all the world, great and wonderful are Your works, and Your 
ways are just and true.
  Be near to our lawmakers today. Help them to see that their 
attitudes, words, and actions have consequences that leave this Chamber 
to influence our Nation and world. Remind them, therefore, to be 
masters of themselves, that they may be servants to others. Keep them 
calm in temper, clear in mind, and pure in heart. In these challenging 
days, strengthen them to perform what You require, even to do justly, 
to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
