Raise us to the new life you have chosen for us in Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
P: There is rejoicing in heaven when sinners repent. Put your trust in these promises: God will never leave you or forsake you. You who were lost have been found. For the sake of + Jesus Christ, your sins are forgiven. Rejoice with the angels at this good news.
