                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, God eternal, over the weekend we assembled for worship, that we 
may keep Your commands and keep holy the day set aside for You.
  Now we ask You to bless our work and our coworkers.
  Make our labor holy because it is dedicated to You and performed in 
Your spirit.
  Be attentive to the needs of this Nation and to all who serve in the 
military and in government.
  We pray for the sick and those who care for them.
  Show Your loving presence to all those who are fearful or in 
distress.
  Grant determination and rehabilitation to all who suffer loss or are 
in recovery from drugs or natural disasters.
  Hear the prayers we offer with renewed faith, for our trust is in 
You, now and forever. Amen.
