Diocesan Prayer for Forgivness & Reconciliation

Belong More Deeply Dear God and loving Father,
We ask your forgiveness for our own sins
and for sins committed
in the name of the Church.
In your loving mercy forgive
especially those sins
that have harmed
children and young people,
as well as sins against
the unborn, the poor and the vulnerable.
Help us to be reconciled to one another
and make us holy in your sight,
that, united in the One Body of Christ,
we may worship you with pure hearts,
proclaim your name with faith and hope
and witness your love to all humankind.
We ask through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

- William Murphy
