It is up to us
to hallow Creation,
to respond to Life
with the fullness of our lives.
It is up to us
to meet the World,
the embrace the Whole
even as we wrestle
with its parts.
It is up to us
to repair the World
and to bind our lives to the Truth.
Therefore we bend the knee
and shake off the stiffness that keeps us
from the subtle graces of Life
and the supple gestures of Love.
With reverence
and thanksgiving
we accept our destiny
and set for ourselves
the task of redemption.
— Rami M. Shapiro
I love this Jewish prayer. It reminds me that it’s OK to embrace God’s love and healing even though I still struggle with the details. It reminds me that works of redemption and maturity are my sacred duty that makes the world a better place. It reminds me that prayer is the pathway to wholeness for myself and for those I love.
God bless you dear reader.
