What a beautiful prayer! Actually, it is part of The Priestly Blessing, which was used traditionally after the morning sacrifice at the Temple. Today, however, it is often used as the benediction at the end of a synagogue service. In three short verses, the priests prayed for blessings and peace and for the “countenance” or face, of God to shine upon those being blessed. These three verses invoke good, beautiful things for the believer. How much better would the world be if we prayed this blessing over not only our loved ones, but also over our not-so-loved ones?
