Light rises in darkness - Daily Minyan reading - January 21, 2025

Original reading

Creator of the Universe,
Our Guide along our uncertain paths, 
Keep our vision focused
Maintain our steps forward to be sure and steady. 
There are days when the words of the prophet Isaiah from Chapter 59
Echo in our minds: 
“We hope for light, and lo! there is darkness; 
For a gleam, and we must walk in gloom.”
And there are other times when the words of 
Psalm 112 strongly resonate: 
“Light rises in the darkness for the upright; 
gracious, merciful and just.” 
May the wisdom of our ancestors 
that has come down to us
Lead us to to be upright: 
To act with a generosity of spirit
To extend compassion towards all people
And to promote fairness and justice
In ways that reflect the Oneness 
That emanates from You
And encompasses us all 
If only we open our minds and hearts. 
Be with us now
And in the days to come
as a beacon of brilliance and hope.
