[Exerpt of prayer from sefer "Avodas Hakodesh"
for a Yoray Shomayim man who wishes to find his mate].
"Master of the universe, in Your kindness, You formed Your world and
created man and made for him a help-mate, and You commanded us to marry a
woman and have children and Your servants, our sages, were stringent to not
delay this mitzva. And since the life of man in this world and the world to
come are almost dependent upon the wife, and, due to our many sins we cannot
know for sure who is fitting to marry and fulfill Your will, I come before
You with a broken heart to plead before You, Merciful Father, to prepare for
me the proper mate, who has fear of Heaven, who has all of the good midos;
who has good fortune, good intellect, success in her endeavors and blessing;
because througfh this I will be able to accomplish holy work without
trouble; and may she be suitable for me. In Your great mercy, may you be
comapassionate to me and turn my heart to be able to complete my part and
fulfill your commandments, and that it be good for me in in this world and
the eternal world. You are the only one Who is merciful, compassionate,
generous, protector, supporter, rescuer, correct and redeemer. Answer me and
hear my prayer, for You are the only One Who hears prayer of every
mouth." |
[Excerpt from prayer for Yoray Shomayim woman for her mate].
May it be Your will, my G-d and G-d of my fathers, that You should cause me
to find, in your great mercy and kindness, the mate who will be proper for
me who will provide all of my true needs and the repair of my soul. May he
be proper and correct to bring kosher children who will be Torah scholars
and tzadikim, people of truth and fear of sin. May this mate be a good man
whose deeds are beautiful and who does good deeds steadily. May he be a
scholar engaged in Torah for its own sake. May he have fear of Heaven,
pursue justice and bestow kindness. May there be no trace of any invalid
thing in him, nor blemish or defect. May he not have anger but, rather, may
he have all of the good midos, be humble, healthy, capable. May he never
cruel to anyone and never evil. May we merit to dwell together
successfully."
