The Fast
Lev 16:23-33 8/30/2017
No working. No eating.
In humility and reverent reflection comes the Day of Atonement.
We quiet ourselves in order to allow ourselves a moment to relate to God in confidence and purity.
The possibility of this moment isn’t merely that we are forgiven of the sins we have committed, but that we become aware of the sins we might commit and want them no more.
The possibility of this moment is that we could live ever present in atonement and rest.
