THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy and merciful God, in your presence we confess our sinfulness, our
shortcomings, and our offenses against you. You alone know how often we
have sinned in wandering from your ways, in wasting your gifts, in forgetting your love.
Have mercy on us, O God of great compassion, for we are ashamed and sorry
for all we have done to displease you. Forgive our sins, and help us to live in your light, and walk in your ways, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)

The strife is o’er, the battle done, the victory of life is won.
The song of triumph has begun. Alleluia!
