Here’s a
litany of forgiveness from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogsdenberg website.
Litany of Forgiveness
We come before our
God, who is full of compassion,
to ask forgiveness and
mercy.
When in our excesses
we consume more than our share
while others go with
basic needs unmet:
Forgive us, merciful
God.
When we are blinded by
our affluence
and fail to reach out
in care and concern:
Forgive us, merciful
God.
When we are
overwhelmed by desires to acquire
and consume more than
we need:
Forgive us, merciful
God.
When possessions cloud
our view of you
and your gracious
love:
Forgive us, merciful God.
