                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, we remember with great praise those who have 
dedicated their lives by alleviating the pain of the neediest among us. 
For those who feed the hungry, provide shelter to homeless, protect 
those who are most vulnerable, heal those who are ill, and who 
encourage those who are weak, we express our appreciation. With 
thanksgiving we recall the many volunteers who use their abilities and 
time in a ministry of service so that hope will be reborn and shattered 
lives given solace and cheer. Bless all those good women and men who 
see in needy people Your divine image and Your eternal mark. In Your 
name, we pray. Amen.
