                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Immortal and invisible God, we yearn to see You. Open our eyes that 
we would know how You reveal Yourself to us through the love You have 
created in us, redeemed in us, and sustain in us this day.
  Help us to realize that though we have never seen You, You have 
taught us that when we love one another, You live in us and Your love 
is made complete in us. This is knowledge that far exceeds what we can 
see with our eyes.
  So let us look beyond the things we see, look past the differences 
and the difficulties, and look into the heart of even our adversary.
  In them may we see You, then know and rely on the love You so desire 
to share with us through others. As You have so loved us, may we accept 
our responsibility to love one another, and may we discover within them 
the love You reveal to us when we love those around us.
  God, You are love. Let us live in that love that Your love would live 
in us and that we would live in You.
  We pray these prayers in Your revealed name.
  Amen.
