Confession and Forgiveness

P:            Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, who calls us beloved children, who gathers us into one flock, who guides us into all truth.

Silence is kept for reflection.

P:            Faithful and just God,

C:            we confess that we are captive to doubt and fear, bound by the ways that lead to death.  We have not loved our sisters and brothers as you have first loved us.  Forgive us, God of mercy.  Let your Holy Spirit work in us to change our lives and make us new, that we may know the abundant life given in Jesus Christ, our risen Lord. Amen.

P:            In this is love, not that we loved God but that God loved us and sent the Son to atone for our sins.  In the name of + Jesus Christ, I announce to you that your sins are forgiven.  Let the perfect love of God cast out fear, fill you with joy, and inspire you to live for others. 

C:            Amen.
