Leader: If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
All: But if we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Almighty God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word and deed: we have not loved you with all our heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. Have mercy upon us: cleanse us from our sins; and help us to overcome our faults: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
