Almighty God, you love us, but we do not love you fully. You call, but we do not always listen. We often walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped up in our own concerns. We often condone evil, hatred, warfare and greed. God of grace, help us to admit our sin, so that as you move toward us in mercy, we may repent, turn to you and receive forgiveness through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. AMEN |
