Reading of the Law
of God
Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5.8
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we
acknowledge that our hearts are not pure. They harbor motives that are not
right in Your sight. They conceal secrets from everyone but You. They shelter
many sins. We confess to You that we are convicted by Your Law. We are reminded
again that we are sinners. We ask that You would forgive us our sin. We know
that we can ask for this only because of Jesus. We thank You for our faithful
Savior who gives to us His purity. Amen.
Declaration of
Pardon
Once you were not a
people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now
you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2.10
The almighty and
merciful Lord grant you pardon and forgiveness of all your sins, time for
amendment of life, and the grace and strength of the Holy Spirit.
The Book of Common
Prayer
