                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  During these days when our memories are filled with the life and work 
of Martin Luther King, Jr., we recall, O God, the works of justice that 
he did and inspired others to do and we rededicate ourselves to what we 
should be and to the good works that we can do. You have created us as 
one people, of one mind and heart and soul, to reflect the marvels of 
Your creation and to show forth the gifts of every person. May the 
vision of a people bound together by Your love, united by acts of 
justice, and confirmed by deeds of understanding and respect, make our 
dreams a reality in our land and in our hearts. And may Your blessing, 
O gracious God, that touches us in the depths of our being, be with us 
now and evermore. Amen.
