ACT THREE | Prayers
Gather in a common space in the house and read aloud together:
"Confession of Sin”
Most merciful God,
We confess that we have sinned against you
In thought, word, and deed.
By what we have done
And by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart.
We have not loved our neighbor as ourselves.
We are truly sorry, and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
Have mercy on us and forgive us;
That we may delight in your will,
And walk in your ways,
To the glory of your name.
Amen.
