                                 PRAYER
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are thankful, gracious God, for the rebirth of nature that we see 
all about us during this season. May the symbols of the season that 
remind us of renewal and restoration and all the beauty of these new 
days, prompt us to seek Your spirit that renews and enlightens our 
hearts and minds and souls. May we not be hindered, O God, by our past 
attempts at doing justice or by the inadequacy of our efforts, but let 
us, in this season of new life, find our lives strengthened and our 
spirits renewed so with all our hearts and minds, we will do justice, 
love mercy, and ever walk humbly with You. Amen.
