O Day of Radiant Gladness
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God of infinite
love and mercy, forgive us when we discredit your gospel by our
sinful actions. In our frustration we often blame you or others for
our misfortune. We envy those who have easy lives and overlook those
whose lives are more difficult than our own. Christ gave freely and
graciously, yet we are full of doubt and suspicion. Forgive us our
wavering faith and heal the divisions within us and between us. In
Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
*RESPONSE: HYMN NO.
572 Lord Have Mercy Upon Us
*ASSURANCE OF PARDON
(from Psalm 146)
The Lord watches over strangers and
upholds widows and orphans.
The Lord sets prisoners free and
opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are
bowed down.
The Lord will reign forever.
Praise the Lord.
*Gloria
Patri, P. 579

The fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.
