                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Loren Lasch, St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Gracious and loving God, we thank You for the gift of this new day.
  As we set out to do the work You have given us to do, please open our 
eyes to those who are suffering in the world around us. Following Your 
example, help us to care for the poor, the sick, the broken, and the 
disenfranchised.
  Give us grace to care for all of Your people as if they were our own 
brothers and sisters. In all that we do, O Lord, let Your love and 
peace guide us.
  In Your holy name we pray.
  Amen.
