                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, from whom has come all the gifts that make us whole 
and make us human, we pray that Your Spirit will so live in our spirits 
that our thoughts and vision, our words and deeds will be strengthened 
and made right by Your blessings to us. For all Your good gifts that 
come to us and grace our lives with cleansing and new life, that point 
us on the way and accompany us along the path, for these gifts and all 
the wonders of Your Spirit, we offer this prayer of thanksgiving and 
praise. Amen.
