                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  You come to us, O Lord. Into our poverty comes Your wealth. Into our 
emptiness comes Your fullness. Into our fears comes Your peace. Into 
our ugliness comes Your beauty. Empower our Senators to prepare 
themselves for Your coming. Remove any barrier that will keep them from 
experiencing Your presence. Lord, give them more than human wisdom so 
that justice, truth, and peace will prevail.
  Come to us, O Lord, and make us instruments of Your peace. We pray in 
Your great Name. Amen.
