xgyd zekxa THE MORNING BLESSINGS

The morning blessings reflect on the wonder of awakening each day to life. ‘My God the soul you have given me is pure’celebrates the possibility of renewal that each day brings, however challenging the circumstances of our life. The blessings that follow mimic the actions as we open our eyes, dress, move around and relocate ourselves in our physical body and the world around us. Then begins the daily task of seeking meaning and purpose in our lives, examining our values and the quality of our relationships. The blessing to engage in study calls us to look beyond ourselves to the mystery of life itself.
