                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, in these difficult and challenging times, remind us that 
the Earth belongs to You, and You have not abandoned it. Unite us with 
the understanding that You are our Father, and we are all members of 
the human family. We pray for all who have been impacted by the pain of 
this crisis season. Use our Senators to make the weak strong, the sick 
healthy, and the broken whole. Lord, surround those who have been 
shaken by anguish with Your divine presence and peace.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
