                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, as You have blessed each person with the miracles of 
life and given us opportunities for compassion for others, we pray that 
by Your spirit, our motives would be purified and our intentions made 
exemplary. As Your word has commanded us to seek justice and love 
mercy, remind us to be authentic in our aspirations and faithful in 
Your service that Your message of respect and understanding will be 
seen in our lives and be the symbol of our humanity. Bless us this day 
and every day, we pray. Amen.
