“ever since I first arrived in the Senate, I have always looked forward to starting each new day with a prayer. Whether that prayer came from one of his excellent books, like One Quiet Moment, or on the Senate Floor, we have all received a great deal of inspiration and encouragement from our Chaplain, Dr. Ogilvie. Each day, as we prayed together on the floor or in our offices, Dr. Ogilvie has helped us to focus on the tasks of the day and the importance of working together as one family to solve the problems we face as a nation. His words have also reminded us of the beliefs of our Founding Fathers and their inherent trust in God for all things. Looking back over the years he has served in the Senate, Dr. Ogilvie has helped us through a long list of trials, tribulations and difficulties. In particular, he prayed with us each morning as we began to recover from the pain of the attacks of September 11. As the Chaplain of all the Senate, he took the pain and isolation that some of us felt from those days, and through prayer and understanding, he brought us together as one, the Senate family, and taught us how to console each other and how to help each family member through the pain of that day. Now, after all he has done for us, Dr. Ogilvie will be leaving to help his own special family and his wife, Mary Jane. Their's is a remarkable story, and someday it may be written, about teamwork, love and happiness.”
