Prayers of Confession on Epiphany

As those three magi brought you gifts, we are reminded of your majesty, oh Christ. You are the savior of the world who embraced human frailty that we might receive salvation. We ask your forgiveness for when we fail to recognize your power, glory, and might. We don’t offer you our best, and live as if you aren’t the king of everything. Please captivate us with your glory as we confess our sins to you now… 

 Time of silent reflection and confession..

God of glory, you sent Jesus among us as the light of the world, to reveal your love for all people. We confess that our sin and pride hide the brightness of your light. We turn away from the poor; we ignore cries for justice; we do not strive for peace.  In your mercy, cleanse us of our sin, and pour out the gifts of your Spirit, that, forgiven and renewed, we may show forth your glory shining in the face of Jesus Christ.

Time of silent reflection and confession..

Amen.
