                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  During these times when so much of our consciousness reflects on the 
violence and the outrage of past days, we pause in prayer to commit 
ourselves to patterns of peace in all we do or say or think. Your word, 
O gracious God, a word of shalom, of peace, of understanding, is a word 
that commits us to be Your messengers of accord in our Nation and Your 
stewards of good will in all the world. May Your spirit, O God, remind 
us to use our voices in ways that bring tolerance and greater 
understanding so that our actions will be deeds of justice and 
righteousness, now and evermore. Amen.
