                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Lord, it is good and fitting to eat, drink, and find enjoyment 
alongside the work with which we labor, and recreation in the days You 
have given us.
  So it is on this day that we come to You in gratitude for the 
pleasure received not only in the privilege to serve You here in this 
place, but for the enjoyment of a good ball game, the civil rivalry of 
peers, and the abundant fellowship and support of friends and fans.
  Now, having fought the good fight, may we finish the week, prolonging 
the collegial spirit found on the field, and upholding the shared 
commitment that brings us together for the common good.
  Grant comfort to the defeated, humility to the victors, respite to 
the weary, and wisdom to us all.
  Renewed by Your spirit we offer these prayers in Your everlasting 
name.
  Amen.
