As we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus when God poured down the Holy Spirit, we ask that God bless us with the grace of forgiveness.

The celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord offers us a vision justice and peace. We pray for the healing of all division and violence.

WITH A DESIRE to walk in the ways of the Lord, we ask God to forgive us.

TO PURIFY AND free our hearts, we turn to God’s mercy.

TO OPEN OURSELVES to God’s joy, let us pray for forgiveness of our failings and sins.

My friends in Christ, we continue the season of Advent when we ready ourselves for the coming of God’s presence in Christ.

As we begin our preparation for the birth of the Lord, we ask God to forgive us for the times we have turned away from God.
