                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  May the spirit of thanksgiving, O gracious God, be ever in our hearts 
and may the significance of gratitude be written in our souls. Of all 
the attributes and virtues to which we aspire, of all the merits and 
worthiness to which we yearn, may the appreciation of thanksgiving and 
gratitude be in our thoughts at the beginning of the day and in our 
words at eventide.
  For these and all Your gifts to us, O God, we offer this prayer. 
Amen.
