                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Breathe into us, O God, the breath of life; place Your hand upon us 
and support us all the day long; may Your spirit be welcomed in our 
hearts and allow us a full measure of Your grace; accept us when we 
miss the mark; forgive us when we fail; enlighten us when we are 
wearisome and give us all a new vision of faith and hope and love so we 
will be the people You would have us be, this day and everyday. Amen.
