Corporate Confession of Sin
Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed
from your ways like lost sheep, We have followed too much the
devices and desires of our hearts, We have offended against your holy laws, We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done, and there is no health in us: But you, O Lord, have mercy upon us miserable offenders; You spare those that confess their faults. Restore the penitent, according to the promises declared to us in Christ Jesus our Lord. Grant, O most merciful Father, for Christ’s sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.

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 life everlasting. Amen.”.
