                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Anthony Craig, Diocese of Duluth, Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, 
offered the following prayer:
  O Lord, our God, we know that You are here with us, that You see us, 
and that You hear us.
  We thank You and praise You for this day, which is Your gift to us. 
You are indestructible truth, all-encompassing goodness, and perfection 
of all beauty. We adore You with profound reverence.
  We ask pardon from our sins. We ask You to make this session fruitful 
in Your service. Help us to be faithful to our marriages, to our 
families, and to our duties in our state in life. Give us the strength 
of grace in our hearts so that we might radiate Your image and likeness 
today.
  May we also one day enter our true fatherland of Heaven. There, we 
hope to enjoy forever the fullness of satisfied desire, eternal 
gladness, consummate delight, and perfect happiness through Christ, our 
Lord.
  Amen.
