Reading of the Law
of God
Be kind to one
another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4. 32
Confession of Sin
Our Father, at times
we find ourselves abrupt instead of kind, preoccupied and indifferent instead
of tenderhearted, and even holding a grudge instead of being quick to forgive.
In this we sin against You as well as against others. Please, be gracious and
forgive us. We thank You for showing us our sin. We thank You for being so
willing to forgive. We thank You for Jesus who makes all this real for us.
Amen.
Declaration of
Pardon
For while we were
still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will
scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would
dare even to die-- but God shows his love for us in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5.6-8
May almighty God
have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Book of Common
Prayer
