Righteous Judge of all nations, who declares the truth without partiality, have mercy on us when we have sinned against you and against one another, that the consequences for our trespasses would not be grievous so that we might repent and grow more and more in likeness to your perfect and beloved son, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in unity of mind and heart, forever and ever. Amen.
‘The LORD has punished me severely, but he did not give me over to death.’ – Ps. 118:18
