A Prayer for Yom Kippur
To those I may have wrongedI ask forgiveness.To those I may have helped,I wish I could have done more.To those I neglected to helpI ask for understanding.To those who helped meI thank you with all my Heart.-G’mar Hatimah Tovah
Today’s quote is in honor of Yom Kippur which is being celebrated by Jews around the world beginning this Wednesday and ending Thursday evening. This is also a time to reflect on those whom we have hurt or harmed during the past year and to seek forgiveness.
Not your faith or tradition? Don’t worry. This is a worthy practice for people of all religions and one of my favorite religious messages.
Who do we need to forgive? What past hurts and insults do we need to release? Let it go. If we can’t, why not? Are we better, happier, healthier for holding our painful past so close? Here’s some tips on how to apologize.
My thanks to one of the world’s great religions for this welcome reminder.
