For great strength is always present with you; who can resist the might of your arm?
Indeed, before you the whole universe is like a grain from a balance, or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth.
But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things; and you overlook sins for the sake of repentance.
For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for you would not fashion what you hate.
How could a thing remain, unless you willed it; or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you?
But you spare all things, because they are yours, O Ruler and Lover of souls, for your imperishable spirit is in all things!
I was privileged to be asked to give this reading at the funeral of my Grandmother who passed away at the age of 94. May she rest in peace.
