Mabon/Rosh Hashana prayer
Dear Yahweh/Shekinah, God of our Mothers and Fathers
Renew us this month and this year
Direct us
Towards goodness and blessing
Toward the joyful
Toward liberation and challenge, as well as
Toward patience and consolation
Toward becoming ever more human beings.
Let us become capable of supporting ourselves,
Our families and our friends,
Let us serve our community in dignity.
Direct us
Toward life and peace
Toward observing our blindness
Toward struggling with our goals
Toward forgiving ourselves and each other.
You chose us with an intention
You gave us the awareness of the cycles of the moon.
May we use this gift as an opportunity to understand what you intend for us.
Thank you - for inviting us to share your holiness and
This holy moment of the New Year.
