                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who transforms common days into transfiguring and 
redemptive moments, hallowed be Your Name. Make our lawmakers great 
enough for these momentous times as they seek to live worthy of Your 
great Name. Lord, cleanse the fountains of their hearts from all that 
defiles, so that they may be fit vessels to be used for Your glory. Let 
Your peace be within them as Your spirit inspires them to glorify You 
in their thoughts, words, and actions.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
