Confession and Forgiveness

P:                 Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, who is present, who gives life, who calls into existence the things that do not exist.

C:                  Amen.

P:                 If you were to keep watch over sins, O Lord, who could stand?  Yet with you is forgiveness, and so we confess.

                    Silence is kept for reflection.

P:                 Gracious God,

C:                 have mercy on us.  We confess that we have turned away from you,  knowingly and unknowingly.  We have wandered from your resurrection life.  We have strayed from your love for all people.  Turn us back to you, O God.  Give us new hearts and right spirits, that we may find what is pleasing to you and dwell in your house forever.   Amen.

P:                  Receive good news: God turns to you in love.  “I will put my spirit in you,    and you shall live,” says our God.  All your sin is forgiven in the name of +    Jesus Christ, who is the free and abounding gift of God’s grace for you. 

C:                 Amen.
