Please remain standing as the chaplain of the United States senate dr. Barry black gives the invocation. Let us pray. Sovereign god, your glory fills the skies. Triumph over the shades of night. Lord, thank you for this congressional Gold Medal Ceremony that commemorates the brief lives of four exemplary young women, casualties in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church on september 15th, 1963. May their deaths on a day that they came to church to worship you remind us of the senseless and deranged nature of evil motivating us to remember that all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.
