                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, whose mercies never fail, we come into Your 
presence with thanksgiving and praise. We are thankful that Your mercy 
is everlasting and Your truth endures to all generations. We praise You 
that we are Your people and the sheep of Your pasture.
  Today, enable the Members of this body to experience Your presence 
and to receive Your wisdom. May they receive these blessings, aware of 
Your counsel that, ``to whom much is given, much is required.'' Bless 
us and all the people of the world today and every day.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
