to Confession (adapted

This is the
covenant which I will make with the house of Israel, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I
will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall
be my people. I will forgive their
evil deeds, and I will remember their sin no more. In penitence and faith, let us confess
our sins to almighty God.
*Silent
Prayer
*Prayer of Confession
Our merciful God, we confess our
sinfulness this day and admit that we do not always live according to
your will. We are often selfish
and ignore the needs of others. We
corrupt what is good and allow what is evil to gain a foothold in our
lives. Forgive us, Father, and
give us the strength to repent of our sins and be renewed by the
transforming of our hearts and minds in the image of Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
