                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, thank You for being near to us in good and bad times. We 
celebrate Your wonderful blessings that bring us new victories each 
day.
  As we look at the flowers on the desk of our friend and brother, 
Senator Frank Lautenberg, we thank You for his life and legacy. As we 
mourn his death, send Your comfort into our hearts. Bless Bonnie and 
his family and give them Your peace. Let our memory of this good and 
courageous American inspire us to transcend the barriers that divide us 
and to work for the good of America.
  We pray in Your merciful Name.
  Amen.
