                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, Creator of heaven and Earth, Eternal Shepherd of the living 
and the dead, as a Nation we unite with other nations of the world and 
pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in the poverty-stricken and 
Earth-shaken nation of Haiti. Have mercy on us all.
  We beg You to help all the people of Haiti in all their needs. Come 
to the aid of the afflicted. Take pity on the helpless and the most 
vulnerable. Raise up the fallen as well as the ruins where human life 
and human remains may be still hidden. Restrain the wayward and sustain 
the brokenhearted. Bring compassion to those who mourn and eternal life 
to those who are buried in anonymity.
  For, with the people of Haiti, we call upon You, Lord, as the 
everlasting Redeemer and Resurrection, both now and forever.
  Amen.
