Prayer of Confession of Sins and Mistakes
(Time for Personal Prayer and Reflection
[Unison] Merciful God, even as we proclaim the saving life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we fail to see the living Christ in our midst. We find ourselves preoccupied with our own well-being and success, forgetting Your imperative to love our neighbor as ourselves. We turn away from systems that challenge our way of thinking, choosing to justify our actions instead of examining our intentions. Show us again how to live a resurrection faith, a faith that sees life and hope in the midst of death and destruction. Transform our hearts so that where they are hardened toward You, neighbor and self, they may once again be filled with love and moved to actions of grace and mercy. In Your Holy name we pray. Amen.
