Christ Jesus, our Lord and merciful redeemer, forgive us for when we have sinned in ignorance, that we might come to learn the truth of ourselves and of your ways and so change in your power to live according to your will, through you who abides in joy forever with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘… even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a man of violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.’ – 1 Tim 1:13-14
