                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, hope of compassion and love, all that is within us 
praise and magnify Your holy name. Today, incline the ears of our 
Senators to hear Your voice as You fill them with Your power. Bless all 
who work on Capitol Hill, inspiring them with Your spirit and 
encouraging them with Your presence. May Your grace give them each day 
a dignified sense of renewal.
  Lord, make us all sensitive to understand our mutual needs and the 
importance of working in harmony and respect one for the other.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
