                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  All of us, wherever we are, join together in our petitions and place 
before You, O God, that which burdens our hearts or gladdens our souls. 
As you have promised to hear our words and heed our voices, we make 
known in our prayers that which encourages us or troubles us, those 
feelings that we withhold from all else. We pray, O God, that You would 
so free us by Your grace and by Your pardon that we will reflect Your 
light and serve our neighbor and our Nation with a renewed commitment 
to justice for every person. For all Your good gifts and for the marvel 
and majesty of each new day, we offer these words of petition and 
thanksgiving. Amen.
