                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in heaven, You have already endowed our Senators with 
abilities they can use in faithful service to You and country. Make 
them faithful stewards of Your gifts, as they live to bring glory to 
Your Name. Lord, undergird them with Your enabling might so that their 
labors will produce a rich harvest of meaningful accomplishments. May 
they be Your candles, illuminating the world around them with the light 
of Your grace and peace. Empower them to persevere and to fight the 
good fight of faith. Help them to be open and honest with each other, 
to mean what they say and to say what they mean.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
