                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord of life beneath the dome of the universe, Your home, gather us 
who seek Your face to the fold of Your embrace, for You are near.
  We see Your divine image in the people around us. Help us to honor 
You by respecting them. Guide our lawmakers to seek great things for 
others. Radiate Your hope through them to our Nation and world, 
providing them, O God, with Your wisdom to join their plans with Your 
will. Give them a compassion that will compel them to labor for the 
eradication of injustice.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
