Reading of the Law
of God
Blessed are those
who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Matthew
5.6
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we hear
Your call to yearn for what is right. But, sadly, there are times when our
hunger for other things overwhelms any yearning to see Your righteousness
prevail. In this we falter in our love for You. In this we sin. We are truly sorry for how we have grieved
You. We ask that You would, again, forgive us our sin. We ask that You would
strengthen our love for You so that we might pursue what is right more
faithfully. We are bold to ask these things only because of Jesus. Amen.
Declaration of
Pardon
He himself bore our
sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to
righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2.24
May God our Father
forgive us our sins, and bring us to the fellowship of his table with his
saints for ever.
The Book of Common
Prayer
