Kathryn Pocalyco, pastor of Lutheran Church of Our Saviour, North Chesterfield, Va., opens the U.S. Senate in prayer at the invitation of Virginia Sen. Mark Warner. “I believe prayer orients the senators to the higher calling that they have,” she said. “That no matter what their individual beliefs may be they are here to serve something that is greater than what they can see. For a Christian, the prayer orients us to God’s call to service that Christ exemplified.” This wasn’t Pocalyco’s first time on Capitol Hill — as a high school junior she spent a semester as a page.
