Prayer of Confession

Sometimes, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. But Jesus said, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light. ” Let us bring to God in prayer our burden of sin and our yoke of guilt, confident and trusting in the Spirit of grace.

Mother God, In you we live and move and have our being. The whole universe is your womb. You give birth to life in us. Please forgive us when we refuse your gift of life. People are fighting. Landmines and weapons put children at risk and cause terrible suffering.

Forgive us when we do not respect ourselves when we fail to care for others when we turn a blind eye to violence. Keep us safe in your womb. Forgive us. Give birth to a new life in us. We pray in Jesus name… (Silence)

God the Creator Brings you new life, Forgives and redeems you. Take hold of this Forgiveness, and Live your life in the spirit of Jesus. Amen
