                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Sacred Father, open the hearts of our lawmakers to the joy and beauty 
of Your providence. Provide them with a greater appreciation of Your 
favor, wisdom, and grace. Remind them of Your plans to keep them from 
stumbling and present them before Your glory with great joy. In their 
weakness, impart Your strength. In their fatigue, give them renewal. 
Empower them with a moral and spiritual stamina to walk in the paths of 
integrity and courage.
  And, Lord, as houses of worship face the reality of criminal 
violence, sustain and keep all who labor to bring Your peace on Earth 
and good will to humanity.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
