                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We remember in our prayer those people who use their abilities and 
talents in ways that heal the hurt and strengthen the good for their 
neighbors and for the world. O gracious God, from whom comes every good 
gift, bless each person who strives to do justice and love mercy, who 
serves as a peacemaker, and who respects each person as created in Your 
image. May all people of good will, O God, join together in a unity of 
purpose that honors You and serves every person, whatever their need. 
In Your name we pray, amen.
