Confession for Holy Week
Forgive
us, Lord, for forgetting your sacrifice
and for
thinking your grace is cheap.
Forgive
us, Lord, for using the cross as a trinket,
forgetting
the agony it represents.
Forgive
us, Lord, for taking our worship for granted,
forgetting
the struggle that has assured its freedom.
Forgive
us, Lord, for being calloused to human cruelty,
forgetting
that every victim is a creature of God.
Forgive
us, Lord, for being nonchalant about injustice,
forgetting
that it still nails innocence to the cross.
Forgive
us, Lord, for thinking that sacrifice is obsolete,
forgetting
that we still contend against the powers of darkness.
Receive
our prayers offered in all humility,
as we
remember and honor Christ our Lord who prays for us still. Amen.
