                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As we gather in the stillness of this hour and for this quiet moment 
of prayer, we are aware, O God, of the violence that shakes our 
societies and brings such desolation to our communities and to our 
world. From the struggle of people for freedom with their governments 
to the hundreds of thousands of refugees who are constrained by 
circumstances to literally run for their lives, we see human 
communities out of touch with Your word of healing and people estranged 
from the unity that is Your will for us. May each of us, whatever our 
opportunity or ability, heed Your word to do justice, to love mercy, 
and to ever walk humbly with You. Amen.
