Prayer

Merciful Lord, you create us with a noble purpose, to love you and to love others. Yet, we know that we are not always who we should be. Too often, we fail to live out our sacred calling. Give us the wisdom to stand today with our Jewish sisters and brothers as they celebrate this feast of repentance and atonement. May we have the courage to repent of our sins and failings and rededicate ourselves to fulfilling the noble calling for which you have created us. We pray this in your name. Amen.
