We say that God sustains the world with grace. The Hebrew word for "sustain," m'chakel, has as its root "vessel." The image is beautiful. Our entire world is a beautifully constructed vessel overflowing with God's grace. So, too, should you imagine that your heart is a vessel filled with love and grace. Surround yourself with people who sustain that image as you venture on.
Rabbi Karyn D. Kedar, God Whispers: Stories of the Soul, Lessons of the Heart
Baruch Ata Adonai Elo-hei-nu me-lech ha-olam a-sher ke-d-sha-nu b- mitz-vo-tav, v-tzi-va-nu al s-fi-rat ha-omer.
Praised be you Adonai our God who rules the Universe instilling within us the holiness of mitzvot by commanding us to count the Omer.
Today is the twenty-fifth day of the Omer.
