                                 PRAYER

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Divine Potter, take the misshapen clay that we are and fashion us 
into vessels of Your honor.
  Open the hearts of our Senators to the fullness of life, forgiveness 
of sins, and the hope of eternity with You.
  Remind our lawmakers of Your wisdom in Luke 12:48, which states: 
``From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded, and 
from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be 
added.''
  Lord, may our legislators realize how much they have been given and 
strive to use their gifts for Your glory.
  We pray in Your most merciful Name. Amen.
