Holy Lord, who calls us to repentance and righteousness, forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from the wrongness of our souls, that we would be able to stand before you as children of our Father, like you in love and goodness, and desirous to do your will in the world, through Christ our brother, who was raised to the highest place and now reigns with you in glory with the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.
‘He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.’ – Luke 3:3
