A Prayer For Compassion

Haggadah Section: Karpas

by Trisha Arlin


Baruch Atah Adonai

Brucha At Shechinah

Blessed One-ness, Blessed Connection, 

Kadosh Baruch Hu:


We pray for all who are in pain

And all who cause pain.


We pray for those of us

Who are so angry

That we have lost compassion for the suffering

Of anyone who is not a member of our group.


And we pray for those of us

Who cannot see the suffering

Behind the loss of that compassion.


We pray for the strength

To resist the urge to inhumanity

That we feel in times of fear and mourning.


We pray for the courage

To resist the calls to inhumanity

That others may make upon us in times of crisis.


Baruch Atah Adonai

Brucha At Shechinah

Blessed One-ness, Blessed Connection,

Kadosh Baruch Hu:


May we find relief from our hurts and fears

And may we not, in our pain,

Lose our empathy

For the hurts and fears of others.


We pray for all who are in pain

And all who cause pain.


Amen
