Prayer for Pardon
O Lord,
the hour of your favor draws near,
the day of your mercy and our salvation -
when death was destroyed and eternal life began.
We acknowledge our sins and our offenses
are always before us.
Blot out all our wrongdoings and give
us a new and steadfast spirit.
Restore us to your friendship and number us among the living who share the joy of you Son's risen life.
