                                    O Father, we are gathered before You, the Maker of Heaven and
                                    Earth, whose chosen dwelling place is with the broken and contrite,
                                    to confess that we have sinned in thought and word and deed; we
Confession of Sin

                                    have not loved You with all our heart and soul, we have not loved
                                    You with all our mind and strength; we have not even loved our
                                    neighbor as ourselves. In Your mercy, deepen our sorrow for the
                                    wrong we have done and for the good we have left undone, so that
                                    we may hate our sin with a holy hatred. But, please Father, do not
                                    leave us in sorrow. With You, O Lord, there is forgiveness. In Your
                                    mercy, restore to us the joy of our salvation and renew and increase
                                    our love for You. Amen.
