                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, the Prince of Peace, give our Senators this day the 
grace to move away from divisions. Take from them all cynicism and 
resentment and anything else that may hinder them from experiencing 
harmony. May the bonds of patriotism, truth, peace, faith, and love 
provide the glue that will enable them to glorify You with their 
oneness. Grant in their hearts the love of Your Name, as You nourish 
them with all goodness and mercy. May they find in You a faithful 
guide.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
