                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Breathe into our hearts, O God, the fullness of beauty and grace; 
lift our eyes, O God, so we see the majesty of Heaven and Earth; 
encourage our voices, O God, to sing with praise and thanksgiving for 
the gifts of life; open our hands, O God, so we do the works of justice 
and mercy and in all things may we know that we are Your people, and 
You are our God. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
