Declaration of Grace / Absolution
(based on Matthew 20: 1-16)
All who respond to God’s call to repentance
are embraced in the generous mercy of God.
Whether you responded to God’s call at the first opportunity,
or whether you are responding for the first time now,
God’s gracious forgiveness is yours, in Jesus Christ.
Sisters and Brothers,
........your sins are forgiven;
................be at peace.
