Merciful Father, who in compassion for us sent Your Son Jesus Christ to be the Savior of the world: Grant us grace to feel and to lament our share in the evil which made it needful for Him to suffer and to die for our salvation. Help us by self-denial, prayer, and meditation to prepare our hearts for deeper penitence and a better life. And give us this day a true longing to be free from sin; through Jesus Christ our only Redeemer. Amen.(followed by a period of silent confession)
 
 
*Assurance of Pardon (responsive)
 
May the God of mercy,
Who forgives us our sins,
Strengthen us in all goodness,
And by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life.
The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting.
In Jesus Christ, by grace through faith, we are forgiven. Amen.
