                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  How blessed is the just one. Truly happy and free is the one who 
fears the Lord. All the demands of life and love are embraced with 
ease.
  The dawn of a new day fills the just with energy to do what is right 
and to risk everything in the cause of justice. Wealth and power seem 
throwaway items to the generous heart concerned for others.
  The details of a job well done are worth remembering for the one 
whose heart is steadfast. There is no fear of an evil report or the 
manipulation of others in the heart of the one committed to the Lord.
  For the just, communion in the Lord is real every day and lasts 
forever. Amen.
