C: Dear Lord, I come before you as a sinner. It was my sin that was responsible for your death. I have often done the evil that you forbid and have failed to do the things that you have commanded. Forgive me Lord for the sake of Jesus, my Savior who died for me and rose again. P: It was indeed our sins that nailed our Savior to the cross. But those very sins also were conquered when he rose again on this Resurrection morning. He lives, triumphant over sin, death, and the devil. You are forgiven. Come now and accept the invitation and partake of the Lamb s high feast given for you and for me. Just come in the name of Christ. All: Praise the Lord!
