Prayer of Confession, Palm Sunday, Year C

Call to Confession

We have sinned because we have forsaken the Lord. (1 Samuel 12:10a) Let us confess our sin before God, and seek God's mercy.

Prayer of Confession, Palm Sunday, Year C

Forgive us, God.
We do not take even a moment
to honor you,
to celebrate your presence
in our midst.
We do not shout your praises
or tell of the wonders
we have seen.
In fact,
we are often among the first
to condemn those
who do.
In your mercy, Lord,
forgive our failure
to worship you
and to lay our very lives
at your feet.
Lead us ever forward
in gratitude and joy
to tell the Good News
of your mercy.


Assurance of God's Grace

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. (2 Corinthians 8:9) In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God!

Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us also forgive one another. The peace of Christ be with you.
Please extend the peace of Christ to those whom you encounter this day.
