                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  For all the opportunities, O God, that lie before us and every 
person, we offer our thanks; for all the possibilities for knowledge 
and understanding, we are grateful; for friends and family and 
colleagues who support us and help show the way, we express our 
gratitude. May we be so fervent in our tasks, gracious God, that we 
will be worthy of the calling we have been given to be of service to 
other people in doing the deeds of justice and by providing leadership 
in the cause of peace and reconciliation for every person. Bless us 
this day and every day, we pray. Amen.
