Litany for the season of Lent

On the 5^th Sunday of Lent, the closing hymn at our parish was a beautiful 

Litany for the Season of Lent.

Let us pray at this holy season of Lent: 

Lord, have mercy                  

• We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength:
• We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves:
• We have not forgiven others as we have been forgiven:
• We have been deaf to your call to serve, as Christ has served:
• We confess our unfaithfulness, our pride, hypocrisy, and impatience:
• We confess our envy of those more fortunate than ourselves:
• For our intemperate love of worldly goods and comforts, and our dishonesty in daily life and work:
• For our negligence in prayer and worship:
• For our blindness to human need and suffering, and our indifference to injustice and cruelty:
• For our lack of charity toward our neighbors, for prejudice and contempt toward those who differ from us:
• For our waste and pollution of your creation, and our lack of concern for those who come after us:
• Restore us, Lord, and let your anger depart from us:
• Accomplish in us the work of your creation:
• By the cross and passion of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord:
• And bring us with your saints to the joy of his resurrection:
