                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God our strength, You have placed music in our hearts, helping us 
to carry our burdens by providing us with a future and a hope. Let Your 
holy power renew our Senators today. Remove all that is withered and 
blighted within them, infusing them with serenity and calm to meet an 
agitated world fortified with Your peace. Teach them to love beauty, 
truth, and integrity, freeing them from pride as they strive to love 
You. Distill upon them the dew of Your kindness and use them for Your 
glory.
  Lord, today we thank You for the United States Capitol Police, who 
sacrificed their lives for freedom: Sergeant Eney, Detective Gibson, 
Officer Chestnut, and Sergeant Holtz. May their exemplary legacies 
inspire us in all of our tomorrows.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
