The Prayer of Rabbi Irwin Keller (2016)

 

My God, the soul you have placed in me is pure

and vulnerable.

I am afraid that looking at today’s news will be painful.

Encircle me in a robe of light so that I can witness the wounds of the world without being wounded myself.

Let me learn what I need to know in order to be of my greatest use, without being overwhelmed by despair.

I feel your protective light now as I open myself to the world’s sufferings and the world’s joys.

Amen.
