                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Open our eyes, O God, to see the opportunities of this new day; open 
our ears, O God, to hear the voices of those who call for help; open 
our minds, O God, to the way of truth and justice; open our hearts, O 
God, so Your grace will forgive us and lead us forward, and open our 
hands, O God, to do the work of peace on Earth and good will to all 
Your people. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
