                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, inspire us to treat others as we want them to treat us. 
Let us rejoice in their strengths, and let us be patient with their 
weaknesses.
  As our Senators do the work of freedom today, may they be sustained 
by Your love. Remind them that Your Divine affection has given them 
everything they need for life and liberty. Answer them when they cry 
out to You and tell them great and unsearchable things they do not 
know. Give them the humility to understand that none of us has a 
monopoly on Your truth and that we all need each other to discover Your 
guidance together.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
