PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins and offenses of my youth, nor my transgressions. According to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness. For your name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is great. Turn to me and be gracious to me. Relieve the troubles of my heart, and forgive all my sins…
