                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, You are Eternal Light which enlightens every human conscience 
and penetrates every aspect of life with Your mercy. Enable us, as Your 
free children, to move and act with responsibility, facing the 
consequences of all our decided words and actions today.
  Give us faith, Lord, which is strong enough to sense Your presence in 
our midst and bold enough to seek Your holy inspiration in our ordered 
routine.
  Then, in partnership with one another, empower us to broaden the 
field of justice and establish a Nation of mutual understanding and 
trust. So let us give You glory today and every day of our lives. Amen.
