                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, from whom all blessings flow, we remember in our 
prayer all those who turn to You with their petitions and their needs. 
Where there is hunger, grant nourishment; where there is sadness, grant 
a full measure of joy and gladness; where there is uncertainty or 
anxiety about the future, grant Your peace that passes all human 
understanding. May Your good spirit, O God, that is with us in all the 
moments of life grant peace and pardon and hope to us and to all Your 
people now and evermore. Amen.
