Happy are those whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned.
I will confess my sins to the Lord,
I will not conceal my wrongdoings.
Silence
God forgives and heals us.
We need your healing, merciful God:
give us true repentance.
Some sins are plain to us;
some escape us,
some we cannot face.
Forgive us;
set us free to hear your word to us;
set us free to serve you.
The presiding priest says
God forgives you.
Forgive others;
Forgive yourself.
Silence
Through Christ, God has put away your sin:
approach your God in peace.
--From" Eucharistic Liturgy of Thanksgiving for Creation and Redemption," in He Karakia Mihinare o Aoteoroa: A New Zealand Prayer Book
