Psalm 37:27-33
Exodus 26; Matthew 25:1-13
Both we and our ancestors have sinned; we have committed iniquity, have
done wickedly. Psalm 106:6
To one who without works trusts him who justifies the ungodly, such
faith is reckoned as righteousness. Romans 4:5
Most holy and almighty God, our Savior, we confess our disobedience. We,
like sheep, have gone astray, all of us turning to our own way. We have
sinned and have done wrong. The good that we knew to do we have not
done. We know that we have been unworthy servants and have fallen short
of your glory. Help us, deliver us, and forgive our sins, O God of our
salvation, for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave
himself for us. Amen. (from General Liturgy I, MBW p2)
