Confession and Forgiveness
P: Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, the eternal voice from heaven, the anointed and beloved one, the Spirit moving over the waters.
C: Amen.
P: As we approach the mystery of God, let us come in confession, trusting the love of Christ crucified and risen.
Silence is kept for reflection.
P: God who searches and knows us,
C: you have shown us what is good, but we have looked to other lights to find our way. We have not been just in our dealings with others. We have chosen revenge over mercy. We have promoted ourselves instead of walking humbly with you. With what shall we come before you? Forgive us our sin, and show us your salvation in the face of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
P: Beloved of God, you have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, poured out for you in the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. Receive the promise of baptism: You are God’s child; + your sins are forgiven. Rejoice and be glad, for yours is the reign of God.
C: Amen.

Lord God, your lovingkindness always goes before us and follows after us. Summon us into your light, and direct our steps in the ways of goodness that come through the cross of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
