Through Christ Our Lord

0 God most merciful, O God most loving kind, O God, who, according to the multi- tude of thy mercies, blottest out the sins of the penitent, and graciously remittest the guilt of their past offences; look favourably upon this thy servant, N., and in thy mercy hear him begging, with the whole confession of his heart, for the remission of all his sins. Renew in him , O most loving Father, whatsoever hath been corrupted through human frailty, or violated through the deceit of the devil ; and asso- ciate him , as a member of re- demption, to the unity of tha, body of the Church. Have pity, Lord, on his sighs ; have pity on his tears ; and admit him, whose only hope is in thy mercy, to the sacrament of thy reconciliation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
