  The Chaplain, the Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray. Of all our prayers that ring with fervor and intensity, 
our prayers for peace come from the depths of our hearts and souls. O 
gracious God, from whom all blessings flow, we earnestly pray for peace 
in our world so that people will live without threats or fear and know 
the gifts of security and freedom. Our prayers of thanksgiving and 
appreciation are with all those people who have used their abilities 
and responsibilities to promote safety and accord. May Your Spirit, O 
God, encourage us to do the works of reconciliation, for Your Wsord 
assures us that the peacemaker shall be called blessed. In Your Name we 
pray. Amen.
