                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, You show mercy to all, and You despise nothing You have 
created. Since You know us through and through, You forgive the sins of 
Your people, because You alone can draw goodness out of anyone or 
anything, at any time.
  You provide Your people with time so that they may change their 
course of action and return to You with all their hearts, for You alone 
are the Lord. You alone are ever faithful, Almighty God, both now and 
forever.
  Amen.
