*THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed
be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is
in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our
debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation.
But deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
*GLORIA PATRI (#735)
THE LAW OF GOD – The Fifth
Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon
The Valley of Vision]
Eternal Father, You are good beyond all
thought, but we are vile, wretched, miserable, blind; Our lips are
ready to confess, but our hearts are slow to feel and our ways
reluctant to amend. We bring our souls to you. Break them, wound
them, bend them, mold them. Unmask to us sin's deformity, that we
may hate it, abhor it, flee from it. Our abilities have been weapons
of revolt against you; as rebels we have misused our strength, and
served the foul adversary of your kingdom. Give us grace to bewail
our senseless folly; Grant us to know that the way of transgression
is hard; that evil paths are wretched paths; that to depart from you
is to lose all good. We have seen the purity and beauty of your
perfect law, the happiness of those in whose heart it reigns, the
calm dignity of the walk to which it calls; yet daily we violate and
condemn its precepts. All these sins we mourn, lament, and for them
cry, "Pardon." Work in us more profound and abiding
repentance; Give us the fullness of a godly grief which is ever
powerful, and ever confident; Grant that our repentance will enable
us to see more clearly the brightness and glory of the cross of Jesus
Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Psalm
103:12]
As far as the east is from the west, so
far does he remove our transgressions from us.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH The
Apostles' Creed, # 845
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.
(The word “catholic” means
“throughout the world.”)
