                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God and subsistence of all life, though Your people walk in 
the valley of darkness, they move and act without fear, for You are 
with them.
  You lead us to restful pastures and revive our downcast spirits, and 
You give us comfort.
  Help us to be attentive to Your call and follow in faith, for You are 
our hope and our strength.
  Anoint the leadership of this Nation with the oil of gladness and 
bring us to Your eternal banquet, where we will dwell in Your house 
forever.
  Amen.
