                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Make right, O God, the conflicts of the day that seem to tear at the 
fabric of our society, that threaten the traditions that we hold dear. 
Even as we pray for Your might in our midst, we pray You will encourage 
our hands to do the good works that serve people in their need, that 
Your word of peace will speak to our words, that Your gift of grace 
will touch us with common purpose so our deeds will reflect the majesty 
of Your whole creation and the bounty of all Your blessings. Amen.
