                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of Psalm 65.
  O God, it is right for us to praise you in Zion and keep our promise 
to you because you answer prayers. People everywhere will come to you 
on account of their sins. Our faults defeat us, but you forgive them. 
Happy are those whom you choose, whom you bring to live in your 
sanctuary. We shall be satisfied with the good thing of your house, the 
blessings of your sacred temple. Amen.
