When you send your Spirit, they
are created, and you renew the face

Prayer of Confession
Most merciful God, we confess that
we have sinned against you in

what we have done and by what we have left undone.
(Sung):
Cordero de Dios, Que quita los
pecados del ntundo, tenos
misericordia.
(Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world: have mercy upon us.)
We have not loved you with our
whole heart. Too often we have
failed to welcome into our hearts
your quickening Spirit of love and power.
Cordero de Dios, Que quita los
pecados del ntundo, tenos misericordia.
We are truly sorry and humbly repent.
Wash away our sins; send
rain on our dry ground; bend our

anoint us for witness, and direct our
wandering feet into your ways.
Amen.
Cordero de Dios, Que quita los
pecados del ntundo, tenos
misericordia.

We shall do as our Lord commands. We proclaim that our Lord Jesus was sent by the Father into the world, that he took upon himself our flesh and blood and bore the wrath of God on the cross for us. We confess that he was condemned to die that we might be pardoned and suffered death that we might live. We proclaim that he is risen to make us right with God and that he shall come again in the glory of his new creation. This we do now and until he comes again.
Haremos como nuestro Senor mande. Proclamamos que Nuestro Senor Jesucristo fue enviado por el Padre al mundo, que tomd sobre si mistno nuestra came y sangre, y soportd la ira de Dios contra nuestro pecado.
