Lord God, immanent in His creation, Great in His ways, I bring before You the ways of the Church established in Your Son’s name in Antioch to be the body of Christ, and to confess that the Church has been a perpetrator of all manner of sin – the Church has continued to split;
Give ear, O heavens, as I say my adoration to God Almighty, the Rock, Whose work is perfect; Whose ways are justice; a God of truth, The Only Righteous One, the Great Creator, the Ancient of days Who shakes the earth, Who made the seas by His heavenly decree;
Father, I repent of all my sins, including adultery, in lusting over things of this world; in idolatry by way of financial idolatry: the worship of man, position and material things; greed, stinginess, self-centeredness, arrogance, pride, love of money, stubbornness and financial disobedience.
Abba, Yahweh Hessed, God of forgiveness, Lord Almighty King, the All Powerful One, the Uncreated Creator, Father All-Glorious, Majestic Life Giver from above, God Most Awesome, Most Merciful God of spotless purity – I kneel before You,
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Lord All Powerful, Maker of all things and Judge of all men, I have confessed my sins to the extent I can, and pray You not to count against me those sins and wrongdoings, I do not recollect or realise I committed, rather Lord God shed upon me the divine influence of Your mercy, and confirm in me true and steadfast faith, and a renewed mind,
Lord God of Host, Who covers our sins and forgives our iniquities, I thank you Lord for the opportunity to witness another Ash Wednesday, for all vouchsafed to me in the past year, and keeping me till this day especially in faith.
