                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Creator, redeemer, sustainer, You called us out of darkness into Your 
marvelous light. Dispel the shadows of confusion in our lives, 
replacing them with charity and peace. What we do not know, teach us. 
What we can't see, show us. What we don't have, give us. What we 
aren't, make us.
  Abide with our Senators in their labors, using them as vessels for 
Your service. Lord, keep them on the path of integrity, strengthened 
and sustained by Your grace. Bless and keep them. Make Your face shine 
upon them and be gracious to them. Lift the light of Your countenance 
upon them and give them Your peace.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
