Lenten Resource: Examination of Conscience and Prayer of Confession

Create space for your congregation to reflect and confess

Examination of Conscience and Prayer of Confession

Lent is a season of introspection, reflection, and self-examination. It allows worship planners the opportunity to create space for dedicated times of corporate confession. The Examination of Conscience and Prayer of Confession can be placed before the reading of the Word, as a response to the Word, or as an act of confession before Holy Communion.

LEADER: Be sincere in your love for God and one another.
Turn away from evil and cling to that which is good.
ALL: God, give us the grace to receive and the will to obey your Word.

Love one another with tenderness and mercy. Honor each other above yourselves,
serving the Lord with a joyful, diligent spirit.
God, give us the grace to receive and the will to obey your word.
