                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray
  O God, You have given us the great hope that Your kingdom shall come 
on Earth. Use the Members of this body to work for that glorious day 
when Your will is done on Earth even as it is done in heaven. Open the 
minds of our Senators to the counsels of eternal wisdom, breathing into 
their souls Your peace which passes understanding. Give them the grace 
to seek first Your kingdom and help them to grow as You add to them all 
things needful. Lord, empower them through exemplary living to make 
this Nation a shining city upon a hill.
  We pray in Your gracious Name. Amen.
