        Corporate Confession of Sin (Unison Prayer)
             Almighty God, we acknowledge and confess that we have sinned
             against You in thought, word, and deed; we have not loved You
             with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength; we have not loved
             our neighbor as ourselves. Deepen within us our sorrow for the
             wrong we have done, and the good we have left undone. Lord, You
             are full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
             mercy; there is always forgiveness with you! Restore to us the joy of
             Your salvation; bind up that which is broken, give light to our
             minds, strength to our wills, and rest to our souls. Speak to each of
             us, and let Your word abide with us until it has wrought in us Your
             holy will. Amen.
