Wednesday, March 9 Morning Prayer Ash Wednesday Opening Sentence

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us, but if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8, 9

Confession

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life. Amen.

Wonderful!

Thanks so much.

Blessings upon you. I need to get my family back on track with shared Bible reading and prayer, and this Lent looks like an admirable time to do just that. It's been neglected, though, so your prayers appreciated.

Here's another site for Lenten lectionary readings.

Thank you.

That confession hits the big two commandments:

Matthew 22

36”Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”

37And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’

38”This is the great and foremost commandment.

39”The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’

This is a DEVOTIONAL thread.

[CynicalBear]

Oops, don’t guess I understood what that meant. Sorry for the intrusion.
