Invitation to Confession
Post Communion Prayer
Jesus says, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven
is close at hand.’ So let us turn away from sin
and turn to Christ, confessing our sins in
penitence and faith.
God of peace, whose Son Jesus Christ proclaimed the kingdom and restored the broken to
wholeness of life: look with compassion on the
anguish of the world, and by your healing power
make whole both people and nations; through
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The Collect
Almighty Father, whose will is to restore all
things in your beloved Son, the King of all:
govern the hearts and minds of those in
authority, and bring the families of the nations,
divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin,
to be subject to his just and gentle rule;
who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Blessing
Christ our King make you faithful and strong to
do his will, that you may reign with him in glory;
and the blessing of God almighty, the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and
remain with you always. Amen.
