Shiru l'Adonai shir chadash,
Shiru l'Adonai kol haaretz.
Sing to Adonai a new song, sing to Adonai, all the earth.
Psalm 96
13 [131]
Each of us enters this sanctuary with a different need.
Some hearts are full of peace and gratitude, Overflowing with love and joy. They are eager to confront the day, to make the world a better place. They are recovering from illness or have escaped misfortune. We rejoice with them.
Some hearts ach with sorrow; Disappointments weigh heavily on them. Families have been broken; loved ones lie on a bed of pain; Death has taken a cherished love one.
May our presence and caring bring them comfort.
Some hearts are embittered: Ideals are betrayed and mocked, answers sought in vain, Life has lost its meaning and value. May the knowledge that we, too, are searching Restore our hope, and renew our faith.
