                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Immortal, invisible God only wise, You are worthy to receive our 
adoration. Lord, establish the works of Your hands on Capitol Hill, 
strengthening our Senators and their staffs as they seek to honor You 
by serving others. Give them the wisdom to be agents of healing and 
hope, enabling our citizens to live in greater justice and peace. Make 
them eager to reverently submit to Your guidance and to obey Your 
precepts. We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
