Confession and Forgiveness
P: Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, who forgives all our sin, whose mercy endures forever.
C: Amen.
P: Seeking reconciliation with God and neighbour, let us remember the gift of baptism and confess our sin.
Silence is kept for reflection.
P: God of mercy,
C: we confess that we have sinned against you, against one another, and against the earth entrusted to our care. We are worried and distracted by many things, and we fail to love you above all else. We store up treasures for ourselves and turn away from our neighbours in need. Forgive us, that we may live in the freedom of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
P: When we were laid low by sin and guilt, God made us alive together with Christ, forgiving us + all our trespasses by taking our sins to the cross. For freedom Christ has set us free: Rejoice in this good news!
C: Amen.
