Absolution 9:50

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

I have thought unkind things toward myself and other people.

I seek Your retribution.

I seek Your forgiveness.

Forgive me for belittling Your work.

Forgive me for taking Your gifts for granted.

Forgive me for beseeching Your forgiveness.

Forgive me for what I've broken.

Heal me for what I've lost.

Give me hope for the better.

Help me find in me the strength I need.

Return to me the love I've lost.

Forgive me for losing sight.

Forgive me, Father, for all my faults and wrong-doing.

Give me hope.

Give me strength.

Give me faith.

Give me love.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

Amen.
