                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  May the beauty of the day remind us, O God, of the beauty of Your 
blessings to us; may the majesty of Your creation remind us of the 
majesty of Your power; may the growth of the blossoms that surround us 
remind us of the nurture we receive by Your hand; may the splendor of 
the Sun remind us of the warmth of Your presence in our lives and may 
the opportunities of this new day remind us that we should serve others 
with grace, with dignity, and with justice. Amen.
