CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS P Brothers and sisters in Christ, if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. C But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8,9 P Let us then confess our sins to God our Father C Most merciful God, we confess that we are sinful and unclean. We have sinned against You and each other by what we think, what we say, and what we do and do not do. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbor as ourselves. We deserve only punishment for our sins. (A time for silent confession of sins) P For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who gave His life that we would live, C Look upon us with mercy and forgive us our sins. Change us and make us new. Amen. P People of God, I have good news for you! God has heard your pleas for mercy and given you His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you and to rise to bring you life. Therefore, as a called and ordained servant of my Lord Jesus Christ and by His authority, I forgive you all your sins. In the name of God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. C Amen

5 5 HOLY GOSPEL Mark 13:24-37 (Stay awake and be prepared for Christ s coming.) P The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, from the thirteenth chapter. 24 [Jesus said:] But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. 28 From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 32 But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 Therefore stay awake for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the cock crows, or in the morning 36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake. P This is the Gospel of the Lord.
