Form Two

*The Priest and Penitent begin as follows*

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-kindness;
 in your great compassion blot out my offenses.

Wash me through and through from my wickedness,
 and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions only too well,
 and my sin is ever before me.

Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy Immortal One,
 have mercy upon us.

*Penitent*  Pray for me, a sinner.

*Priest*

May God in his love enlighten your heart, that you may 
remember in truth all your sins and his unfailing mercy.  
Amen.

*The Priest may then say one or more of these or other appropriate 
verses of Scripture, first saying*

Hear the Word of God to all who truly turn to him.

Come to me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I 
will refresh you.    Matthew 11:28

God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, 
to the end that all that believe in him should not perish, but 
have everlasting life.    John 3:16

This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received, 
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.    
1 Timothy 1:15
