Unison Prayer of Confession

God the maker of all things good, have mercy upon your creation. We gatheron Sundays to nourish our faith, but we find the seeds scorched in the light ofMonday morning. We want to bear fruits of compassion and kindness, but we fallinto selfish habits, and our discipleship withers.

Forgive us, O God of mercy. Shower us with your grace, and free us to try again. Amen. (Silent prayer and reflection)
