So on Yom Kippur we bring before God a bleeding heart and a troubled conscience. God knows and sees to the heart; therefore, God requires us to be honest. God loves and cares for life; therefore, God wants us, too, to love and care for life. God is forgiving; therefore, God wants us to acknowledge, repent, and make atonement for the wrongs we have done. To face them we need inspiration, hope, moral courage, vision and faith.
