confession
Holy One, we love you,
and we have kept your commandments,
and we have also failed to keep
your commandments.
We have misunderstood,
misinterpreted, misapplied,
even the simple foundation
of them all: to love.
Holy One, we believe in you,
and we have received your gift of faith,
and we have not treasured
the gift as we ought.
We have been selfish,
ungrateful, and treated your kindness
with disdain through our cruelty.
Forgive us, please, we pray.
silence
grace
Jesus says, 'I am coming to you.
I will not leave you alone.'
In Spirit, in Holy One,
grace comes to us again.
Hear this assurance, and be at peace.
Amen.
