Confession and Forgiveness

Silence is kept for reflection.

P:                  God of overflowing grace,

C:                 we come to you with repentant hearts.  Forgive us for shallow thankfulness.  Forgive us for passing by the ones in need.  Forgive us for setting our hopes on fleeting treasures.  Forgive us our neglect and thoughtlessness.  Bring us home from the wilderness of sin, and strengthen us to serve you in all that we do and say; through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord.  Amen.

P:                  There is joy in heaven over every sinner who repents.  By the grace of God in + Christ Jesus, who gave himself up for us all, your sins are forgiven and you are made free.  Rejoice with the angels and with one another!  We are home in God’s mercy, now and forever.

C:                 Amen.
