                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Spirit of God, descend on our hearts, for apart from You, life is a 
tale full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
  May our Senators walk in Your ways, keeping Your precepts with such 
integrity that they will honor You. Lord, incline their hearts to Your 
wisdom, providing them with the understanding they need to accomplish 
Your purpose in our world. Let Your mercy protect them from the dangers 
of this life as they learn to find delight in Your commandments. Keep 
them ever mindful of the brevity of their days and the greatness of 
their work.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
