Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Devotional Exercises for the Use of Jewish Women, on Public and Domestic Occasions
Alas! Faith in Thee, we have not made our light nor hope in Thee our consolation - nor love of Thee our life's high duty. Instead of cleaving unto good, we have striven after vanity and lies - our words have been false and insincere - our acts opposed to the purity of Thy godly will, and entirely have we lived, as if beyond this scene, there were no other life, no future judgment or account. We humbly pray Thee, 0 Father! To forgive us this abuse of Thy unmerited grace, to assist us in becoming worthy of the gifts which Thou dispensest to us at each succeeding dawn. Teach us to search the secret folds of our heart, to heed attentively the inward monitor which whispers to us with Thy holy voice, so that we may learn to know ourselves and recognize our unworthiness, may strive after Thee, and soon be qualified to uplift our faces to Thee, and gaze with innocent looks upon Thy resplendent light.
