                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Bless us, O God, and all Your people so the works of justice and 
mercy will have the center of our focus and an attitude of 
reconciliation and peace will be our goal. Help us to be aware, 
gracious God, that You have called us in this day and time to be people 
of character and integrity and in spite of any difference or dispute, 
may we seek to express the unity of Your creation that is Your gift to 
us. With humility and thanksgiving, with gratitude and praise, we 
receive this new day by Your promise and by Your grace. In Your name, 
we pray. Amen.
