                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  This week, as we celebrate Jewish Heritage Week, we pray for the 
Jewish people and for the crisis in the Middle East. My prayer is taken 
from the Jewish Book of Service, Daily Prayers. Let us pray.
  We gratefully acknowledge that You are the Eternal One, our God, and 
the God of our fathers evermore; the Rock of our life and the Shield of 
our salvation. You are He who exists to all ages. We will therefore 
render thanks unto You and declare Your praise for our lives, which are 
delivered into Your hand and for our souls, which are confided in Your 
care; for Your goodness, which is displayed to us daily; for Your 
wonders and Your bounty, which are at all times given to us. You are 
the most gracious, for Your mercies never fail. Evermore we hope in 
You, O Lord our God. Amen.
