<\/p>\n

Almighty and everlasting God,
\nyou hate nothing you have made
\nand forgive the sins of all who are penitent:
\nCreate and make in us new and contrite hearts,
\nthat we, worthily lamenting our sins
\nand acknowledging our wretchedness,
\nmay obtain of you, the God of all mercy,
\nperfect remission and forgiveness;
\nthrough Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns
\nwith you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n
