                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Blessed be the God and Father of us all, for he has chosen you to be 
representatives of his people.
  Lord God, what a blessing it is to realize one has a calling at a 
particular time for a specific service to accomplish Your holy will. It 
is then we truly have purpose.
  Both in great and small things, we become neither overwhelmed nor 
disdainful. Every task can be embraced. Every duty fulfilled. Every 
burden can be lightened by the knowledge that You, O Lord, are 
accomplishing great things in and through us, both now and always. 
Amen.
