I've always resonated to the writings of the late Rabbi Chaim Stern, editor of Gates of Prayer and Gates of Repentance. But it wasn't until I read a post by his widow, Lea Lane, on The Huffington Post blog that I realized how his words can be of comfort and encouragement during these difficult days.
The passages quoted are from Day by Day, and include this:
May I be among those who are hard to provoke and easy to appease. May I be a friend of peace at home and at work, and everywhere I go. When I am angry let me reflect whether my anger is proportionate to its cause and appropriate in its expression.
