Come down, O love divine |
Greeting followed by Introduction to Lent
The collect
Almighty and everlasting God,
you hate nothing that you have made
and forgive the sins of all those
who are penitent:
create and make in us new and contrite
hearts
that we, worthily lamenting our sins
and acknowledging our wretchedness,
may receive from you, the God of all
mercy,
perfect remission and forgiveness;
through Jesus Christ your Son our
Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit
one God, now and forever. Amen.

Sermon
Self Examination and Confession
Let us now call
to mind our sin and the infinite mercy of God.
Priest God the Father,
All have mercy on us.
God the Son,
have
mercy on us.
God the Holy Spirit,
have mercy on us.
Trinity of love,
have mercy on us.
All Most
merciful God,
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
we confess that we have sinned
in thought, word and deed.
Priest We have not loved you with our whole heart,
and mind, and strength.
We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
We have not forgiven others, as we have been forgiven.
All Lord,
have mercy.
We have been deaf to your call to serve, as Christ served us.
We have not been true to the mind of Christ.
We have grieved your Holy Spirit.
Lord, have mercy.
We confess to you, Lord …
all our past unfaithfulness:
the pride, hypocrisy and impatience of our lives.
Lord, have mercy.
Our self-indulgent appetites and ways, and our exploitation
of other people.
Lord, have mercy.
Our anger at our own frustration
and our envy of those more fortunate than ourselves.
Lord, have mercy.
Our intemperate love of worldly goods and comforts
and our dishonesty in daily life and work.
Lord, have mercy.
Our negligence in prayer and worship
and our failure to commend the faith that is in us.
Lord, have mercy.
Priest Accept our repentance, Lord …
for the wrongs we have done,
for our blindness to human need and suffering,
and our indifference to injustice and cruelty.
All Accept our repentance, Lord.
For all false judgements,
for uncharitable thoughts towards our neighbours
and for our prejudice and contempt towards those who differ from us.
Accept our repentance, Lord.
For our waste and pollution of your creation
and our lack of concern for those who come after us.
Accept our repentance, Lord.
Restore us, good Lord, and let your anger depart from us.
Favourably hear us, for your mercy is
great.
Accomplish in us the work of your salvation,
that we may show your glory in the
world.
By the cross and passion of your Son our Lord,
bring us with all your saints to the
joy of his resurrection.
Silence is kept
All We have not loved you with our whole
heart.
We have not loved our neighbours as
ourselves.
In your mercy
forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may do justly,
love mercy,
and walk humbly with you, our God.
Amen.
