BCP Absolutions

BCP absolution for Morning & Evening Prayer:

Rubric: The Absolution or Remission of sins to be pronounced by the Priest alone, standing; the people still kneelingā€¦

Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, does not desire the death of a sinner, but rather than they turn from their wickedness and live. 

And He has given power and commandment to His ministers to declare and pronounce to His repentant people the Absolution and Remission of their sins.  He pardons and absolves all those who truly repent and who sincerely believe His holy Gospel. 

Therefore we earnestly implore Him to grant us true repentance and His Holy Spirit, so that we may do those things that please Him in the present, and so that the rest of our lives may be pure and holy, so that in the end we may come to His eternal joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

BCP Absolution for HC

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who in His great mercy has promised the forgiveness of sins to all them that with sincere repentance and true faith turn to Him: Have mercy on you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness and bring you to life everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

God, the Father of Mercies, has reconciled the world to Himself through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ, not counting our trespasses against us, but sending His Holy Spirit to shed abroad His love among us.  By the ministry of reconciliation entrusted by Christ to His Church, receive His pardon and peace to stand before Him in His strength alone, this day and forevermore.
