Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim there this word:

Hear the word of the LORD, all you people, you that enter these gates to worship the LORD.

Hear the word of the LORD: amend your ways and your doings and let me dwell with you in this place.

This is the temple of the LORD and the LORD has drawn near.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION 

Holy and merciful God, in your presence we confess our sinfulness. You alone know how often we have sinned in wandering from your ways and in forgetting your love.  You alone know how we do not bat an eye or shed a tear at the evil around us.  Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we are ashamed and sorry for turning away from the pain and hurt in the world.  Forgive our sins and fill our hearts with your Spirit. Amen.
