Prayer of Confession
Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in
thought, word, and deed. We have not loved you with our
whole heart and mind and strength; we have not loved our
neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have
been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be,
so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to
the glory of your holy name. Amen.
