MESSAGE

FAITH JOURNEY
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
God of high places, God of low places, God of all places, we confess that
we are not full of compassion as you are. We are prone to forget what it
is like to be aliens, to be powerless, to be vulnerable, to be without an
advocate, to be without credit. Forgive our complicity in heartless
systems that make credit cheap and easy for those who need it least and
prohibitive for those who need it most. Forgive indifference toward, or
ill-treatment of, widows and orphans when we forget that they could be
our own widows and orphans. We need to repent of all our less-thanloving behavior and attitudes for the sake of your all-loving Son, Jesus
of Nazareth. Amen
