Repentance
O LORD our God, give unto us Thy servants the spirit of true repentance, and take away from us all that separates us from Thee. Assist us by Thy Holy Spirit to show true sorrow for our sins, and to form a sincere resolution to amend our lives according to Thy Holy Word. Have mercy on us, and succour us with Thy grace, make in us new and contrite hearts, and pardon all our offences; for the sake of our Redeemer Jesus Christ. Amen.
