                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Let all the Nations be judged before You. Lord, You alone can touch 
all the world with a holy fear. Before You every nation is revealed. 
Each is only a collection of people.
  Let humanity reign! Let all the nations see their souls in the eyes 
of each other. Speak to minds and hearts, O Lord. Lift the lines of 
demarcation just enough for them to witness their common concerns, 
their ground for hope, and a united course of action.
  Before You alone they stand humbled, yet together You can strengthen 
them in their resolve to free the future for all Your people. Let all 
the nations be judged before you, O Lord.
  Amen.
