                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, God of the prophets and the 
apostles, awaken our minds and hearts to the centerpiece of the Torah--
the foundation of divine law.
  Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one. * * * And thou shalt love 
the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with 
all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be 
in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, 
and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou 
walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest 
up.--Deuteronomy 6:4-7.
  God of our fathers, we pray for our families. In a day when social 
order is disintegrating, give us grace and wisdom to take God 
seriously, that our hearts and homes may be filled with love and 
respect for each other, that the family may be strengthened and social 
order restored.
  In the name of Him who is Truth. Amen.
