We confess to you, Lord, all our past unfaithfulness: the 
pride, hypocrisy, and impatience of our lives,
We confess to you, Lord. 

Our self-indulgent appetites and ways, and our exploitation 
of other people,
We confess to you, Lord. 

Our anger at our own frustration, and our envy of those 
more fortunate than ourselves,
We confess to you, Lord. 

Our intemperate love of worldly goods and comforts, and 
our dishonesty in daily life and work,
We confess to you, Lord. 

Our negligence in prayer and worship, and our failure to 
commend the faith that is in us,
We confess to you, Lord. 

Accept our repentance, Lord, for the wrongs we have done: 
for our blindness to human need and suffering, and our 
indifference to injustice and cruelty,
Accept our repentance, Lord. 

For all false judgments, for uncharitable thoughts toward our 
neighbors, and for our prejudice and contempt toward those 
who differ from us,
Accept our repentance, Lord. 

For our waste and pollution of your creation, and our lack of 
concern for those who come after us,
Accept our repentance, Lord. 

Restore us, good Lord, and let your anger depart from us; 
Favorably hear us, for your mercy is great. 

Accomplish in us the work of your salvation,
That we may show forth your glory in the world.
