THE LAW OF GOD – The 1st Great
Commandment [Mt 22:37]
CONFESSION OF SIN
[Adapted
from Calvin’s Form of Church Prayers]
Eternal
and Almighty Father, we acknowledge and confess before your holy
majesty, that we are poor sinners; conceived and born in guilt and in
corruption, prone to evil, unable of ourselves to do any good; who,
because of our depravity, transgress without end your holy
commandments. Therefore we have drawn upon ourselves, by your just
sentence, condemnation and death. But, O Lord, with heartfelt sorrow
we repent and deplore our offenses! We condemn ourselves and our
evil ways, with true penitence beseeching that your grace may relieve
our distress. Be pleased then to have compassion upon us, O most
gracious God, Father of all mercies, for the sake of your Son Jesus
Christ, our Lord. And, in removing our guilt and our pollution,
grant us the daily increase of the grace of your Holy Spirit; that,
acknowledging from our inmost hearts our own unrighteousness, we may
be touched with sorrow that shall work true repentance; and that your
Spirit, mortifying all sin within us, may produce the fruits of
holiness and righteousness well-pleasing in your sight; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Apostles' Creed
I believe in
God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in
Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From
there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in
the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.
