Reading of the Law
of God
Blessed are the poor
in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5.3
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we
confess to You that we are not poor in spirit. Sadly, we are too like those
around us. We think so well of ourselves. We are proud. We do not recognize how
poor and weak and needy we really are. We do not believe this part of the
Gospel very well. We acknowledge our sin. We ask that You would forgive us. We
ask that You would change us. We ask this only because of Jesus, our Savior.
Amen.
Declaration of
Pardon
For I delivered to
you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins
in accordance with the Scriptures 1 Corinthians 15.3
May the Father
forgive us by the death of his Son and strengthen us to live in the power of
the Spirit all our days.
The Book of Common
Prayer
