Confession and Forgiveness
P: Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, who gathers us in the wilderness to redeems us, anoint us, and make us new.
C: Amen.
P: In these forty days, let us be honest, confess our sin, and receive God’s promise of mercy.
Silence is kept for reflection.
P: God at the margins,
C: we have wandered far from your home; again and again, we lose our way. We turn inward, afraid of the world around us. We forget that you have saved your people before and promise to do so again. Do not remember the deeds of our past, but turn our faces toward the future, where your forgiveness is sure, your welcome is clear, and your love overflows. Amen.
P: Like a hen who gathers her chicks, God embraces you in tender care. Like manna in the desert, God feeds you with surprising mercy. Like a loving parent, God runs to meet you again this day, forgiving your sins for the sake of + Christ, leading you from death to life.
C: Amen.
