                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, fountain of blessings, thank You for the life and legacy 
of Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, the 61st Chaplain of the United States 
Senate. Accept our gratitude for his unswerving integrity, ethical 
congruence, exemplary life, and sanctified service. We praise You for 
his preaching and writing gifts that provided counsel and guidance, 
beckoning us to start and maintain a relationship with You.
  Lord, You used Dr. Ogilvie to bring deliverance to captives, to 
restore sight to the ethically blind, and to unshackle those held by 
the chains of addiction and despair. Thank You for the force of his 
convictions that brought unity to division, light to darkness, and hope 
to despair.
  Comfort his beloved Doris, his loved ones, and all of us who mourn 
his death. Inspired by his great life, may our lawmakers accept the 
challenge to strive by words and actions to bring glory to Your Name.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
