Concluding Prayer
Blessed are You, our God,
Spirit of the World,
Who wisely formed the human body.
You created it with openings here
And vessels there.
You know well that
Should even one of these stay opened,
Or one of those stay closed,
We could not long survive.
Blessed are You,
Healer of all flesh,
Who makes the wonders of creation.
Amen!
