God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself — and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19 Image: Archbishop Jose Gomez
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy steadfast love, according to Thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned and done that which is evil in Thy sight so that Thou art justified in Thy sentence and blameless in Thy judgment.
Create in me a clean heart, O God and put a new and right spirit within me.
Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Thy ways and sinners will return to Thee.
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
Psalm 51:1-4, 10, 12-13 17
