A Story

"Once, there was a little country boy who was orphaned at an early age. He never learned to read. His parents had left him a heavy prayer book as his inheritance. On the Day of Atonement he brought it to the synagogue, laid it on the reading table, and burst into tears, crying out, 'O Lord of All Creation! I do not know how to pray, nor even what to say--Here! I give thee the entire prayer book!'"
~Michael O'Brien (from Sophia House)
