                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, the light of our lives, we lift our hearts to You in 
praise. May Your presence be felt today on Capitol Hill. There is no 
one like You, for You protect the weak from the strong and the poor 
from the oppressor. Give our Senators strength for today's journey. 
Deepen their trust in You, as You guide them by Your wisdom. As we 
anticipate the Fourth of July, remind us that true freedom comes from 
You. And, Lord, we ask Your special blessing upon our outgoing Senate 
page class.
  We pray in Your liberating Name. Amen.
