                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  God our Savior, break into our world which is rife with bad news, and 
make known the redeeming proclamation of Your love for us and Your 
plans for our good and not our harm.
  Preserve the welfare of countries and communities around the world 
from the disasters threatening them. Particularly on this day, we pray 
for the people of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean as once again they 
battle the devastation inflicted on them by damaging winds and raging 
seas.
  Grant us redemption from all that seeks to distance us from Your love 
and distract us from faith in You. Restore our relationship with You 
that by Your mercy, we would all be welcomed once again into Your 
embrace.
  Lord, You are the ruler of the universe. We appeal to You this day 
that Your saving hand would hold and protect Your people.
  Renewed in Your name, we pray.
  Amen.
