                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord our God, great provider and bulwark of justice, listen to our 
prayers today as we pray for all those who by their daily labor build 
Your kingdom and establish relationships that will last.
  Created in Your image and commissioned to be stewards of creation, 
guide the judgments of our minds and the precision of our hands that 
the work of this day may give You glory and serve the needs of our 
sisters and brothers.
  Since we look upon the whole universe in relation to You, order all 
the endeavors of the human family to benefit the least in our midst and 
realize Your gracious plan at work in our humble service.
  To You be praise, glory, and honor now and forever.
  Amen.
