Lenten Prayer

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the

sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us a new and contrite heart,
that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may
obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. †
