• Confession & Forgiveness
(All may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the presiding
minister begins.)
Blessed be the holy Trinity, + one
God, who forgives all our sin,
whose mercy endures forever.
Amen.
Let us come into the light of Christ,
confessing our need for God's
mercy.
Silence is kept for reflection.
Holy and faithful God,
we so often choose our own way
instead of yours.
We think we can evade your
commandments.
We have spoken in ways that kill,
strayed with our hearts,
betrayed friends, and hated enemies.
We have broken our promises.
Search us deeply and create us anew.
Lift the heavy burden of our sin
and free us to follow your way of life.
Amen.
"Call upon me," says the Lord, "and I
will answer."
Our God has come among us to loose
every bond and set us free from all that
weighs us down.
Receive the forgiveness of all your sins
in the name of + Jesus Christ,
our crucified and risen Savior.
Amen.
