The Man Who Leads Senate Prayer Is Fed Up With ‘Thoughts And Prayers’

"When babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and prayers," Senate Chaplain Barry Black said in his opening prayer.

Igor Bobic at HuffPost: 

After another mass shooting took the lives of six people, including three 9-year-old children, at a Nashville, Tennessee, school, Senate Chaplain Barry Black used his opening prayer to urge lawmakers to take action.

“Lord, when babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and prayers,” Black said as the Senate opened for business on Tuesday. “Remind our lawmakers of the words of the British statesman Edmund Burke: ‘All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.’ Lord, deliver our senators from the paralysis of analysis that waits for the miraculous.”

Black, a retired Navy rear admiral, has served as the Senate chaplain for over 20 years. He’s the first Black person to hold the position.

Although he rarely strays into politics, Black has delivered several pointed prayers over the years, scolding senators with a deep, authoritative voice. For example, during the 2013 government shutdown, he asked God to “save us from the madness” and “deliver us from the hypocrisy of attempting to sound reasonable while being unreasonable.” He also admonished senators during the 2020 impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump to “remember that patriots reside on both sides of the aisle.”

Senate Chaplain Barry Black addressed the chamber in prayer to open yesterday’s session to urge lawmakers to take action to solve gun violence in the wake of The Covenant School shooting Monday.

Use them to battle the demonic forces that seek to engulf us. We pray, in your powerful name, amen.
