All  Almighty God, our heavenly Father,

we have sinned against you and against our neighbour in thought and word and deed,

through negligence, through weakness

through our own deliberate fault.

We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins.

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name.

Amen

and keep you in life eternal;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

The power and the glory,

For ever and ever,  Amen.

Jesus, bearer of our sins, have mercy on us.

Jesus, redeemer of the world, grant us peace.

 

Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Blessed are those who are called to his supper.

All   Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word, and I shall be healed.
