                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  With the words of the Psalmist we pray that You would search us, O 
God, and know our hearts, try us and know our thoughts, and see if 
there be any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting.
  We pray, Almighty God, that through reflection and meditation, 
through study and edification, and above all through prayer and renewed 
faith, we will speak with truth, our minds will point to justice, and 
our hearts will be full of mercy, that in all things, You will be our 
God and we will be Your people. Bless us now in all we do and may Your 
spirit remain with us always. Amen.
