Prayer of Confession

O most just and holy God, we confess before your great majesty that we are sinners by nature, and we have willingly disobeyed your commandments in thought, word, and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart, nor have we loved our neighbor as ourselves. We come to you, Lord, not to make excuses or claim any merit of our own, but to cast ourselves upon your tender mercy, hoping and trusting in the merit and mediation of Christ alone. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Titus 3:4–7

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
