“on behalf of Senator Pryor and myself, I ask unanimous consent that the transcript of the 61th Annual National Prayer Breakfast be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: 61st National Prayer Breakfast, Thursday, February 7, 2013, Washington, DC, Co-Chairs: Senator Jeff Sessions, Senator Mark Pryor Senator Mark Pryor: Let me open by saying, ``Good morning fellow sinners.'' My name is Mark Pryor, from Arkansas, and this is my brother, Jeff Sessions, from Alabama. Together, Jeff and I chair the weekly Senate breakfast group, which means we get to chair this ``slightly larger'' event this morning. Senator Jeff Sessions: Thank you all for taking on the adventure of getting here this morning. We have a challenging experience planned for you this morning. We call this the Prayer Breakfast, not only because we come together to pray, but because so much prayer goes into this event, and hopefully, so much prayer comes out of it. Senator Pryor: Everything that happens over the next 90 minutes has really come about through prayer. As a matter of fact, one of the hundreds of volunteers that make this morning possible, literally came in very early this morning and prayed over each place setting here--prayed over each of you. Senator Sessions: Prayer is not a spectator sport. We hope this experience enriches your own life of prayer, for the good of the nation, for the world and for your family.…”
