  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  On this day, O gracious God, we pray for Your goodness and Your 
blessings on us and upon all Your people. May the majesty of Your whole 
world inspire us, may the beauty of Your creation enliven us, may the 
miracle of Your love surround us, may Your message of faith and hope 
encourage us and may Your grace be sufficient for all our needs. We 
pray that Your benediction of good will and Your spirit of peace will 
be with us and inspire us to do good work, that in all things we will 
do justice, love mercy and ever walk humbly with You. This is our 
earnest prayer. Amen.
