Confession and Forgiveness

P:               Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, who calls us into an everlasting hope, who guides us into springs of the water of life, who enlightens us with the spirit of wisdom. 

C:               Amen.

P:               One with the communion of saints in all times and places, let us confess our sin against God and one another.

Silence is kept for reflection.

P:               O God, our merciful redeemer,

C:               we confess the ways we live only for ourselves.  We fail to see you in our neighbour’s face.  We turn our ears from voices that cry out.  We pass by the hungry and the oppressed.  In your great mercy, forgive our sin, and strengthen us for service to all in need; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

P:              In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Chris was given to die for you, and for his sake, God forgives + you all your sin.  Blessed are you!  Rejoice and be glad, beloved people of God.

C:              Amen.
