Story

OK, no one reads my blog, but I heard a story many years ago and I can’t find it anywhere (I googled as well as I know how). I’m hoping someone else might have heard it, and know where it came from. It went something like this:

There was a rabbi and he always looked terrified when he began to pray. Someone asked him why and he explained thusly; “When I pray I begin with the words ‘Lord, have mercy’, and I am terrified what may happen between the moment that I invoke the Lord’s name, and the moment I ask for mercy”.

    I read it… when I remember to check it… :P

    Sorry, I don’t know where that came from. It sounds interesting though. Let me know if you find it. :)
