                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We seek wisdom, O God, so our deeds reflect the works of justice; we 
seek understanding, O God, so our minds are receptive to the truth; we 
seek faith, O God, so we will experience the wonders of trust and 
grace, and we seek peace, O God, so all people will live together in 
harmony and in respect. It is in Your name, O gracious God, that we 
offer these sincere petitions. Amen.
