Senator Taylor moved and asked unanimous consent that today's                  
prayer be spread.  Without objection, it was so ordered.                       
                                                                               
With joyful hearts we greet the festival of our                               
freedom.  Through the power of the spirit Israel                               
went forth from bondage to freedom, from                                       
degradation to dignity.                                                        
                                                                               
We give thanks for the many liberations we have                               
experienced in days gone by.  And we pray that                                 
those who suffer still may go forth from bondage                               
into a new day of freedom.
